CiNii 図書 - Introducing comparative politics : concepts and cases in context

Organized thematically around important questions in comparative politics-Who rules? What explains political behavior? Where and why?-Introducing Comparative Politics, Fifth Edition integrates a set of extended case studies of 11 core countries directly into the narrative. Serving as touchstones, the cases are set in chapters where they make the most sense topically-not separated from theory or in a separate volume-and vividly illustrate issues in cross-national context. The book's hybrid organization allows instructors to teach the way you want to teach and gives students a more accurate sense of comparative study.
