Comparative Politics
An Institutional and Cross-national Approach

It features both across-national approach--permitting readers to develop a trulycomparative understanding of the types ofinstitutions (e.g. constitutions, executives, legislatures, political parties, etc.)--as well as acountry-by-country approach that examines those institutions within the context of eight different countries--enabling readers to see how all the "pieces" fit together. The volume analyzes comparative political analysis, constitutions and ideologies, political development and political economics, legislatures and legislative structures, the executive, judiciary and the legal order, interest groups, political parties and the individual and the political environments of The British, French, German, Japanese, Canadian, Mexican, Nigerian, and Russian political systems. For those interested in a comprehensive look at comparative politics.
