A groundbreaking text gives students meaningful insight into how cross-national comparison is actually conducted, and why it matters: the enduring questions that scholars grapple with, the issues about which consensus has started to emerge, and the tools comparativists use to get at the complex and interesting problems at the heart of the field.

The authors show how comparativists construct and test theories, applying the principles of the scientific method and simple game theory to a wide variety of examples and cases. The book's outstanding pedagogy includes: Chapter opener overviews to summarize key points from the text; Bolded key terms and a marginal glossary to help students identify and manage concepts; Rich and comprehensive data, helpfully schematized in more than 250 tables and figures; An excellent photo and map program to highlight the book's thematic and substantive goals; End of chapter lists of key concepts, with page references; End of chapter problem sets of 5-10 problems each to help students work through the comparative puzzles and game theory examples; A comprehensive bibliography; Appendix materials to support chapter problems as well as encourage further research.
