Building on the strengths of the second edition, this highly regarded textbook continues to provide the best introduction to the strategies of comparative research in political science. It begins by examining different methods, then highlights some of the big issues in comparative politics, using a wealth of topical examples, before discussing the new challenges in the area. Thoroughly revised throughout with the addition of extensive new material, this edition is also supplemented by the availability online of the author's own datasets.
