This textbook has become a favorite for the introductory undergraduate course in comparative politics. The second edition features ten theoretically and historically grounded country studies that demonstrate how the three major concepts of comparative analysis (interests, identities, and institutions) shape the politics of nations. Organized to address the concerns of contemporary comparativists, the volume provides students with the conceptual tools and historical background needed to understand today's complex world politics.
