The subsequent chapters are organized thematically, beginning with the basic concepts of politicsthe state, nations and society, and political economyand building to discussions of the challenges facing different types of political systems today.

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

An antidote to traditional comparative politics texts, this work approaches the subject through essential concepts, dominant approaches and basic theory, rather than through lengthy regional analyses. This text should serve as a cornerstone for courses in world politics, and can also be combined with other volumes within "The Norton Series in World Politics".
