Essentials of Comparative Politics
Read More
O'Neil (U. of Puget Sound) takes a thematic approach to introducing the field of comparative politics, first offering chapters that conceptually explore the key institutions of politics--states, markets, societies, and democracy or authoritarianism--and later applying these conceptualizations within separate chapters on advanced democracies, communism and post-communism, less-developed and newly industrializing countries, and globalization. The final chapter discusses political violence. Cases in Comparative Politics and Essential Readings in Comparative Politics are available as companion volumes.
