Books cover comparative politics
Howard Wiarda, Dean Rusk Professor of International Relations
and head of UGA’s international affairs department, has edited
Comparative Politics, a six-volume set covering the field of comparative
politics.
Serving as general editor for the project—which totaled 2,275
pages—Wiarda supervised a team of six researchers, mainly
current or former graduate students, who compiled the materials.
“This set brings together the best writings in the comparative
politics field and presents them in an organized, logical and coherent
way,” says Wiarda. “It collects in one place all the
main ideas and research in the discipline and makes the entire field
centrally -accessible to students and fellow scholars.”
Comparative Politics involves the systematic and comparative study
of the world’s nations and political systems, of which there
are now more than 200. Volumes in the series include “Comparative
Politics: History, Theory, Context,” “Foundations of
Comparative Politics: Western Europe and the United States,”
“The Politics of Asia,” “Post-Communist Politics
and Change in Russia and East Central Europe,” “Developing
Nations: Latin America, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa”
and “Comparative Public Policy.” |
