Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics, 3rd Edition

'If this textbook had been available when I was a college senior or first-year graduate student, it would have saved me months of muddled thinking about what comparative politics is and how it should be done.'

Michael Coppedge, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame

'Todd Landman's scientifically elegant new book contains a wealth of substantive and methodological content that should inspire much progress in comparative politics theory and research.'

Claudio Cioffi-Revilla, Professor of Computational Social Science, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study, George Mason University
