Reviews"I strongly believe there is a need for such a textbook. The quality of Volume I (as suggested by Chapter 6), its tight and organized presentation, and its effective embedding of the "need-to-know" questions in the existing and well-referenced scholarly literature suggests it would be a major contribute to the textbook market in comparative politics. The separating out of the cases from the thematic coverage through the two-volume format would give many instructors more of a choice. I like that!", It is an exceptionally good idea that the themes of the book are also presented in the case study analysis, which will help students see these concepts in action. My current text focuses on one aspect of our thematic analysis for each case, but I would like a text that I can use to highlight key themes throughout the case, rather than a singular focus., I think the discussion of government systems is one of the most challenging topics in this class for students. The chapter does a great job presenting theory, explaining concepts, giving examples and comparing systems. I would assign it to my students as required reading without hesitation.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisFor Introducing Comparative Politics: The Essentials, the driving force is the pluralist, objective stance on introducing students to core concepts in Comparative Politics. The authors introduce key comparative questions while providing equal strengths and weaknesses of commonly debated theories, structures, and beliefs that push students beyond memorization of country profiles and ever-changing statistics and generate in-class debate over key concepts used in the science of comparative politics. While detailed case studies can go in-depth on specific countries and political systems, Introducing Comparative Politics: The Essentials, distills its country material into paragraph-long examples woven seamlessly into the narrative of the text, increasing diverse global awareness, current-event literacy, and critical-thinking skills. Give your students the SAGE edge! SAGE edge offers a robust online environment featuring an impressive array of free tools and resources for review, study, and further exploration, keeping both instructors and students on the cutting edge of teaching and learning.

Authors Stephen Orvis and Carol Ann Drogus introduce key comparative questions while providing equal strengths and weaknesses of commonly debated theories, structures, and beliefs that push students beyond memorization of country profiles and ever-changing statistics and generate in-class debate over key concepts used in the science of comparative politics. While detailed case studies can go in-depth on specific countries and political systems, Introducing Comparative Politics: The Essentials, distills its country material into paragraph-long examples woven seamlessly into the narrative of the text, increasing diverse global awareness, current-event literacy, and critical-thinking skills., Introducing Comparative Politics: The Essentials is organized thematically around the essential questions in comparative politics-Who rules? What explains political behavior? What accounts for differences between countries? Adapted from the authors' Introducing Comparative Politics: Concepts and Cases in Context, Fourth Edition, The Essentials version offers the same framework for understanding comparative politics in a briefer format. Instructors have greater flexibility in teaching the course because this version of Stephen Orvis and Carol Ann Drogus's best-seller does not include extended case studies. Loaded with contemporary examples and up-to-date research, this streamlined text helps students engage with the critical issues shaping global politics today.
