A distinctive new introductory text, Essentials of Comparative Politics supplies a framework that enables students to navigate and organize the material they will encounter in the courseand to make increasingly sophisticated comparisons between actual countries. In the first chapter, Patrick O'Neil explains the basic methodologies of comparative politics, discusses current issues and debates in the field, and introduces two themes that will inform the textthe importance of institutions to all political systems and the fundamental struggle between freedom and equality. The subsequent chapters are organized thematically, beginning with the basic concepts of politicsthe state, nations and society, and political economyand building to discussions of the challenges facing different types of political systems today. Throughout, Professor O'Neil incorporates analysis of the transformative events of recent historyamong them the fall of communism, the accelerating spread of democracy, the economic growth of Asia, globalization, and responses to the attacks of September 11th 2001.

An antidote to traditional comparative politics texts, this work approaches the subject through essential concepts, dominant approaches and basic theory, rather than through lengthy regional analyses. This text should serve as a cornerstone for courses in world politics, and can also be combined with other volumes within "The Norton Series in World Politics".
