Essentials of Comparative Politics is the best-selling book for the
course because it provides clear, concise and contemporary coverage
of core concepts in flexible, affordable formats. The Seventh
Edition goes even further to address course needs with new coverage
of the methods used by comparativists to answer contemporary
questions in the discipline. With the addition of InQuizitive,
Norton's adaptive learning tool, students have even more support in
learning the core concepts of comparative politics and applying
them to real-world examples.
Cases and Concepts in Comparative Politics gets students out of the
text and into the real world. Through its unique applied approach
that introduces the concepts in the context of real situations,
along with pedagogy that encourages students to practise exploring
on their own the concepts in action in country case studies,
students spend more time doing the work of comparative politics and
less time reading about it. Now with InQuizitive, Norton's adaptive
learning tool, students have even more opportunities to put their
knowledge to use, better preparing them to think critically about
current events in their own country and those around the world.
Essentials of Comparative Politics introduces students to the
concepts that political scientists use to study and compare
political systems and the particulars of specific political
systems. The fourth edition has been revised and updated to include
the most current and relevant examples and scholarship. The text is
available with a corresponding casebook of 13 country studies and a
corresponding reader; the three components can be used individually
or in any combination.
Cases in Comparative Politics is the best-selling case book for the
course because it uses a consistent framework to illustrate major
concepts in comparative politics. Featuring coverage of the 13
most-taught countries, Cases combines foundational knowledge with
the most ruthlessly up-to-date coverage to foster easier comparison
across countries.
In this highly original book, Patrick O'Neil analyses the catalysts
of the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe and offers
explanations for these events. The exceptional case of Hungary is
used to support theoretical concepts regarding the transition in
Eastern Europe using new empirical evidence and institutional
theory. The Hungarian transition from communism is distinct in that
the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party was the initiator of its own
transition but also acted as its own greatest enemy. This book
provides a detailed analysis of the internal reform movement within
the Hungarian Communist Party and its role in the incremental
transition to democracy in the late 1980s. The author utilises
party archives and primary interviews with important figures in the
Communist Party to examine the effect of institutional
relationships on the collapse of the authoritarian order. He also
emphasises the role of reform circles in accelerating the
disintegration of the Communist Party in Hungary. The book
concludes that the way in which an autocratic order perpetuates
itself affects the manner of its decline and the new system that
takes its place. This authoritative book will be welcomed by
academics and students interested in the politics of transition
both in Hungary and Eastern Europe and the politics of the demise
of communism in general.
Since the collapse of communism in 1989 Eastern Europe has
experienced a fundamental transformation in its economic, political
and social institutions. Observers of the region have often viewed
the media as little more than instruments of propaganda in the
hands of the party-state which can now be easily made into
independent sources of communication. However, the function and
effects of the media within communist and post-communist Eastern
Europe have been more diverse than such generalizations would
indicate.
Cases and Concepts in Comparative Politics bridges the gap between
understanding and doing comparative politics. Concepts are
presented in the context of real situations with pedagogy that asks
students to apply their new knowledge immediately in country case
studies. Students spend more time actually doing the work of
comparative politics. Through Dynamic Data Figures in the Norton
Illumine Ebook, in addition to InQuizitive, students have even more
support in learning the core concepts of comparative politics and
applying them to real-world examples.
