Introduction to Comparative Politics is currently the best-selling Introductory Comparative Politics text in the market. The text is organised around four key themes, with a strong emphasis on political economy. The theoretical framework developed in the introduction provides a rich context for each of the country studies. The text is further distinguished in the market because of the prominence of the author team. The three leading authors are all very well known in their fields and they have assembled an impressive group of authors for the country studies. The third edition introduced an optional customised delivery format, which has proved to be popular and will be continued in this edition.
