Updated to reflect today’s political climate, the seventh edition of Introduction to Comparative Politics: Political Challenges and Changing Agendas offers a country-by-country approach that allows students to fully examine similarities and differences among countries and within and between political systems. Each chapter provides an analysis of political challenges and changing agendas within countries and includes detailed descriptions and analyses of the politics of individual countries. The text features a condensed narrative and student-friendly pedagogy, such as marginal key terms and questions designed to help students make meaningful connections and comparisons about the presented countries. This edition consists of 13 country case studies, as well as a case study on the European Union, providing an interesting sample of political regimes, levels of economic development, and geographic regions.
