| Summary |
"This fourth edition of Comparative Government and Politics has been comprehensively revised and rewritten throughout to cover the major changes since the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War. New chapters have been added on the global context, democracy and democratization, federal, unitary and local politics, and the comparative method."--BOOK JACKET. "The 'three-worlds' perspective used as an organizing framework in previous editions has been replaced by a focus on three dimensions of variation between states: democratic versus authoritarian; consolidated versus transitional; and developed versus developing. The book remains, however, as resolutely international in scope as ever, with chapters organized thematically rather than country by country."--BOOK JACKET |
