Foundations of Comparative Politics by Kenneth Newton

Foundations of Comparative Politics by Kenneth Newton

The new edition of this leading overview of comparative politics once again blends theory and evidence across democratic systems to provide unparalleled coverage. The student-friendly structure and clear, concise writing ensure that complex issues are clearly explained and students engage with the key theories. The third edition is updated throughout, with a new chapter, 'Public Spending and Public Policies', increased coverage of defective democracies, and revised coverage of e-democracy and the power of the media. The pedagogy is simplified with a focus on 'Briefings' and 'Controversies' that feature examples from across the globe, alongside clear key terms, 'What We Have Learned' and 'Lessons of Comparison' sections, and a wealth of online materials to complete a rich teaching and learning package.

'This textbook on comparative politics provides students with a concise, well-organized overview of all of the areas in the discipline, including origins of the state, institutions, inputs, and policies and performance.. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.' L.M. Barnett, Choice
