Government and Politics in a Changing World

"Government and Politics in a Changing World" introduces the student of comparative politics to the political systems of the United States, the republics of the former Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, East and West Germany, China, India, Peru and Nigeria. Critically, the text examines how people are socialized and recruited into politics in each of these systems. It then explores how those with influence think about politics and how they participate in it. In addition, the book looks at how people are affected by politics and offers tools for analyzing the future of these political systems.
