Comparative goverment and politics por Rod Hague, Martin Harrop, y John McCormick

This is a book designed to introduce you to the study of comparative government and politics. The goal of the chapters that follow is to provide a wide-ranging and accessible guide for courses and modules in this fascinating and essential sub-field of political science. We will look at the methods and theories of comparison, at the differences between democracies and authoritarian systems, at the many different forms in which the institutions of government exist, and at the ways in which ordinary people take part - or are prevented from taking part - in government and in shaping the decisions that affect their lives.
