A textbook for an undergraduate course in comparative political science, with elementary material that can be skipped by students with previous background in it. Adolino and Blake (both political science, James Madison U., Virginia) begin by exploring the role of cultural, economic, political, and institutional influences on policy making. Then they compare US policies with those in Japan and European countries on immigration, fiscal policy, taxation, health care, social policy, education, and the environment. Annotation c.
