Synopsis

This text was created in response to demands for a brief version of the leading comparative government text, Almond/Powell's "Comparative Politics Today". Consisting of revised and updated chapters from Part I and II of the parent text, it continues the tradition of the "functional approach" pioneered by Almond - examining system, process and policy to understand government. This three-pronged analytic structure allows the reader to move easily and logically from institution to institution and process to process - without losing the essential thread of connection and meaning. The material is up-to-date, and an increased focus on the world-wide process of democratization exists throughout the text.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This brief text presents, in a separate text, the revised and updated theoretical chapters (Parts I and II) from the best-selling Comparative Politics Today, Eighth Edition.

In this new edition, the rich theoretical framework pioneered by Gabriel Almond and G. Bingham Powell has been streamlined by co-editors Kaare Strøm and Russell Dalton and features a shift toward exploring the purpose of government. Retained and enriched, the three-part analytic framework examining system, process, and policy offers readers a coherent and accessible means to explore how different political systems are formed, maintained, and changed.
