Why do we compare nations? How do we compare nations? What are the 'big issues' in comparative politics? Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics provides students with the answers to these fundamental questions. It is an accessible and user-friendly text which explores the strategies of comparative research in political science. It begins by examining different methods and then highlights some of the big issues in comparative politics, using topical examples emphasising the act of comparing as a means to explain observed phenomena. Part 1 shows how and why comparative politics is important, the strengths and weaknesses of different comparative methods, and the problems encountered in conducting political research. Part 2 addresses some dominant issues in comparative politics, including economic development and democracy, violent political dissent and revolution, non-violent political dissent and social movements, transitions to democracy, and institutional design and democratic performance. Part 3 draws important lessons for comparative politics and discusses the key challenges for the field in the next century.
This book has been designed to make a complex subject easy and accessible to students. Features of this textbook include:
* briefing boxes located throughout which explain key concepts and ideas
* suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter
* a glossary of terms.
