'Editors Landman and Robinson have compiled an excellent tour
d'horizon of comparative politics. Distinguished contributors
explore theoretical and methodological issues as well as examine
the critical substantive domains that animate today's
comparativists. Graduate students and academics will want to keep
this volume on their book shelf' - Professor Mark Irving Lichbach,
University of Maryland 'The SAGE Handbook of Comparative Politics
is a major new resource for scholars of comparative politics, and
of political science more generally. The Handbook covers the field
with admirable thoroughness, but does not sacrifice depth for
breadth. The chapters are written by notable scholars who provide
rich discussions of their topics, and help to move the
sub-discipline forward' - B. Guy Peters, Professor, University of
Pittsburgh The SAGE Handbook of Comparative Politics presents; in
one volume, an authoritative overview of the theoretical,
methodological and substantive elements of comparative political
science. The 28 specially commissioned chapters, written by
renowned comparative scholars, guide the reader through the central
issues and debates, presenting a state-of-the-art guide to the
past, present and possible futures of the field. The Handbook is
divided into three parts. The first considers comparative
methodologies and reviews the interactions between various
sub-fields of comparative politics: political economy; political
sociology; area studies; international relations; and institutional
analysis. The second section examines nine 'classic' issues of
concern to comparativists, including government formation,
political behaviour and democratization. In the final section, nine
new and emerging areas of comparative research are considered, such
as terrorism, electoral corruption, human rights and regional
integration. The SAGE Handbook of Comparative Politics is an
essential resource for researchers in political science, political
sociology, political economy, international relations, area studies
and all other fields with a comparative political dimension.
