Features: There are already numerous works and textbooks on comparative politics. In this context, it is not an easy task to add another textbook of the same kind while demonstrating its value. However, the book written by the author that we are now reading has proven the success of the author's efforts through its quality. The difficulty of comparative politics lies in "comparison," while the taboo is to simply list or. The success of the book before us lies in its excellent combination of comparative analysis and national case studies, with a consistent comparative tone and spirit throughout each national chapter. Thus, it truly becomes a work of "comparison."
