Description
Taken from the comprehensive text, Introduction to Comparative Politics, this derivative is a more detailed examination of the politics in developing countries, including chapters on China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, and Iran. Four innovative themes, each with a specific focus, form the framework of the text: The World of States, Governing the Economy, The Democratic Idea, and The Politics of Collective Identities. A new classification system focuses on levels of democracy, including established, transitional, and non-democracies. An added chapter on the United States follows the same lines of comparison as those of other countries. Every chapter includes four to six sidebars, which focus on different subjects, including leaders, citizen action, institutional intricacies, current challenges, and global connections.ISBN:9780395937051
