It outlines the strengths and weaknesses of major comparative research methods, the practical problems that arise when selecting cases, and how to interpret empirical findings. The book then reviews key substantive issues—economic development and democracy, political dissent and revolution, transitions to democracy, institutional design, democratic performance, and human rights protection—and concludes with future challenges for the field.","Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics: An  \nIntroduction  \n‘The success of the book arises from its focus on actual examples from comparative studies of nation-states. The range of empirical studies covered is, in fact, quite remarkable, and includes a good many of the leading works in the field…. I would highly recommend the book for advanced undergraduate students.’ James Mahoney, Acta Politica, reviewing the first edition.  \nWhy do we compare countries? How do we compare countries? What are the ‘big issues’ in comparative politics? Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics provides students with the answers to these fundamental questions. It is an accessible text which explores the strategies of comparative research in political science. It begins by examining different methods and then highlights some of the big issues in comparative politics, using topical examples emphasizing the act of comparing as a means to explain observed political phenomena. The second edition is fully updated and includes a new chapter looking at comparative studies on human rights protections, a popular topic with students.  \n• Part I shows how and why comparative politics is important, the strengths and weaknesses of different comparative methods, and the problems encountered in conducting political research.  \n• Part II addresses the dominant issues in comparative politics, including economic development and democracy, violent political dissent and revolution, non-violent political dissent and social movements, transitions to democracy, institutional design and democratic performance, and human rights protection.  \n• Part III draws important lessons for comparative politics and discusses the key challenges for the field in the next century.  \nThis book has been designed to make a complex subject easy and accessible to students. Features of this textbook include:  \n• Briefing boxes located throughout which explain key concepts and ideas.  \n• Suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter.  \n• A glossary of terms.  \nTodd Landman is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Government at the University of Essex and Deputy Director of the Human Rights Centre.  \nIssues and Methods in Comparative Politics: An Introduction  \n▪ 2nd Edition  \nTodd Landman  \nLONDON AND NEW YORK  \nFirst published 2003 by Routledge  \n11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE  \nSimultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group  \nThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005.“To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledges’s collection of thousands of eBooks please go to [www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk](www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk).”  \n© 2003 Todd Landman  \nAll rights reserved.
