The primary goal of the Worldwide Scholar Guide to AP Comparative Government & Politics is simple: to prepare students to succeed on the AP Comparative Government and Politics exam. Students who choose to take that exam are accepting a major challenge. Yet, accepting the challenge is more than worthwhile. In the modern world, no country operates in a vacuum. As recent events have demonstrated, a successful revolution in Tunisia can lead to the overthrow of a dictator in Egypt. The near collapse of American financial markets, or a government debt crisis in Greece, can send shock waves through the global financial system. An attack by North Korea on South Korea can put Japanese security forces on high alert, and force China to re-examine its foreign policy. Understanding the basic concepts of political science, and the political landscape of the world around us, is crucial for anyone who wishes to play a significant role in shaping the future of our planet. Through detailed examples of all the important themes and concepts covered on the exam, concise summaries of the political situations in the exam's six core countries, and a quick review guide, this book demystifies the study of comparative government, allowing students to fully grasp this seemingly complicated subject.
