Comparing Political Regimes provides a current and comprehensive
empirical assessment of the world's 195 sovereign states. Alan
Siaroff analyses and classifies countries in terms of economic
development, political evolution, and state strength, ultimately
outlining and contrasting the aspects of four regime types: liberal
democracies, electoral democracies, semi-open autocracies, and
closed autocracies. The fourth edition explains institutional
differences within democracies and autocracies respectively,
including how regimes evolve in key countries and how this change
is incremental. An invaluable reference for students to refer to,
this book provides a thorough foundational introduction to the
comparative politics of countries and contains several unique
figures and tables on the world's sovereign states. This new
edition modifies the conceptual focus regarding some features of
democracy and democratic party systems, expands on variations in
autocracies, and adds a new chapter on the historical evolution of
democracy, including key thresholds of representative democracy and
levels of participation and competition at various historical
junctures for all countries.
