Reviews
What a fantastic book! It has great case studies that are very contemporary and lots of relevant discussions on things my students are really interested in, like political protest and identity politics. All the resources, like slides and lecture notes, are great, and Im able to use those quite effectively in my classes. This book has nailed what comparative politics is all about., Orvis and Drogus have authored a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to comparative politics which will engage todays undergraduates., An excellent resource for the political scientist who is teaching comparative politics for the first time., The graphics in the book are extremely reader-friendly. The language is clear and easy for students to follow. Instructor resources are quite helpful (and a key part of my decision-making). Overall, this is the best comparative politics text for undergrads that I have found. It covers all the important topics in the field and presents them in a way that is accessible to students., A solid textbook on the major topics in comparative politics that integrates case studies, most of which are recurring, in each chapter., This is a great introductory comparative politics text for both majors and non-majors. The material is accessible for non-discipline students, and easily lends itself to connections with other academic disciplines. The structure of the content is flexible enough to allow for the integration of current events.
