description: An exceptionally clear, jargon-free writing style and an emphasis on political institutions and behavior? rather than on abstract conceptual frameworks ?make this volume consistently more accessible to readers than most others on comparative politics. It features both a cross-national approach?permitting readers to develop a truly comparative understanding of the types of institutions (e.g. constitutions, executives, legislatures, political parties, etc.)?as well as a country-by-country approach that examines those institutions within the context of eight different countries?enabling readers to see how all the ?pieces? fit together.
