Finding the Green Stone by Alice Walker

Finding the Green Stone by Alice Walker

Why do countries have different institutions and forms of government? Why do some social revolutions succeed and endure while others fail? Why are some societies subjected to terrorism and not others? An engaging and accessible introduction to the subject, Comparative Politics: Integrating Theories, Methods, and Cases gives students the methodological tools they need to answer the big questions in the field. The authors introduce methods early in the text and integrate them throughout in order to help students develop a systematic way of thinking about comparative politics.

FEATURES

* A unique structure offers the best of thematic and country-by-country approaches. Fifteen succinct thematic chapters--organized around the big questions in the field--are followed by a separate section at the end of the book offering full-length profiles and case studies for twelve countries

* Each chapter integrates six standalone country case studies in Case in Context boxes; these features tie into the narrative, pose questions, and point students to the full case discussions in the country profiles

* Thinking Comparatively boxes introduce new methodological tools and help students apply the theories and concepts covered in each chapter

* Insights boxes provide abstracts on some of the leading works in the field
