Introducing Comparative Politics [PDF ebook] 
Concepts and Cases in Context

"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." -Laura N. Bell, West Texas A&M University Organized thematically around important questions in comparative politics-who rules? what explains political behavior? where and why?-Introducing Comparative Politics, Fifth Edition, integrates a set of extended case studies of 11 countries that vividly illustrate issues in cross-national context. Serving as touchstones, the cases are placed within the chapters where they make the most sense -not separated from the theory or in a separate volume-helping students make connections between the two earlier in the semester. The book’s hybrid organization gives students a more holistic view of comparative politics.
