Description
The Seventh Edition Update of this market-leading text offers the most current and respected introduction to comparative politics available, with several updated country studies and a robust new Web site.
Comparative Politics Today is the text that defined the discipline of comparative politics and continues to set the standard for the course with a brand new Web site and the most current country study chapters available. The chapters on England, France, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and the United States have all been thoroughly updated. A new, highly interactive Comparative Politics Web site (www.ablongman.com/comparativepolitics) is sure to engage today's students and help them learn. The site's features include: country profiles, interactive maps, practice tests, news links, web links, and more. As in the previous edition, theoretical chapters (Chapters 1 - 7) at the beginning of the book explore the "purpose of government" and provide students with a framework for understanding comparative politics. The theoretical section is followed by 12 individual country studies. All country studies are written by pre-eminent specialists on that particular country, ensuring that students have the most reliable information and insights into the political systems of those nations.
