Essentials of Comparative Politics (Third Edition)

The most complete, flexible, and affordable Comparative Politics package on the market.

Essentials of Comparative Politics introduces students to the concepts that political scientists use to study and compare political systems and the particulars of specific political systems. The text is available with a corresponding casebook of 14 country studies and a reader—the three components can be used individually or in any combination.

The Third Edition has been revised and updated to include the most current and relevant examples; it includes a robust suite of emedia resources for students and instructors. The Comparative Politics package provides maximum value to students—the textbook/casebook/reader package is priced comparably to most standalone country studies textbooks.
