The field of comparative politics traditionally has been divided
into two camps: on the one hand, quantitatively driven work on a
broad scale; on the other, more qualitative area studies. This
edited collection promotes a new approach to comparative politics
that transcends the debate about the future of the discipline. The
contributors' essays are innovative in their interweaving of case
studies of the political situations in particular regions with the
project of political theorizing. The chapters take as their points
of departure such diverse topics as the liberal tradition in United
States politics, the impact of drug-related violence on democratic
stability in Colombia, and the relationship between poverty
reduction and support for democracy in Mali, thereby resoundingly
demonstrating the broad relevance of the volume's unifying theme:
theoretically informed comparative analysis. Students of politics,
from advanced undergraduates to practicing scholars, will find this
volume useful in assessing, analyzing, and uniting the fields of
comparative politics and political theory.
