Essentials of Comparative Politics with Cases

NIMAC-sourced textbook

Essentials of Comparative Politics with Cases Fifth AP Edition

This textbook is meant to contribute to our understanding of comparative politics (the study of domestic politics around the world) by investigating the central ideas and questions that make up this field. It begins with the most basic struggle in politics--the battle between freedom and equality and the task of reconciling or balancing these ideals. How this struggle has unfolded across place and time represents the core of comparative politics. The text continues by emphasizing the importance of institutions. Human action is fundamentally guided by the institutions that people construct, such as culture, constitutions, and property rights. Once established, these institutions are both influential and persistent--not easily overcome, changed, or removed. How these institutions emerge, and how they affect politics, is central to this work.
