Adapted from the groundbreaking Principles of Comparative Politics,
now in its third edition, Foundations of Comparative Politics
presents a scientific approach to the rich world of comparative
inquiry, research, and scholarship, providing students a guide to
cross-national comparison and why it matters to them. Foundations
introduces students to the key questions in comparative politics
using tools such as decision, social choice, and game theory to
help them understand clearly why some explanations for political
phenomena are stronger than others. The core material of Principles
has been condensed by almost 40% into a briefer, more accessible
format that not only resonates with students but also allows
instructors to more easily cover all material in a single semester.
Fourteen chapters have been updated and pared down to present only
the most necessary information enhanced with plentiful visual
features and connections to real-world examples.
This new edition has been thoroughly updated to include an
intuitive take on statistical analyses and a clearer explanation of
how to interpret regression results. There is a revised chapter on
culture and democracy that includes a more extensive discussion of
cultural modernization theory and a new overview of survey methods
for addressing sensitive topics. Examples from the gender and
politics literature have been incorporated into various chapters,
and empirical examples and data on various types of institutions
have been updated.
