Reviews / Votes
'Strikes an unmatched balance between analytics and empirics, methods and theories, structures, institutions, and actors. Simply the best textbook on comparative politics.' * Stefano Bartolini, Eurpoean University Institute * 'The fourth edition retains the strenghts of the previous one, while being skillfully updated with new information. This makes it even more essential for teachers, students, and analysts alike than before. I warmly commend it to them.' * Ian Budge, University of Essex *More details
