A user-friendly, if boring, textbook on comparative politics., 2005-08-27
I had to read Monte Palmer's _Comparative Politics_ text for a class. The book compares the political structures and systems of ten different countries: Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, China, India, Mexico, Egypt and Nigeria. Of these ten I read the sections covering Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, China and Mexico. The edition is a little outdated (2001). It doesn't fit well with the post-9/11 political setup, and it doesn't have very up to date statistics for the countries listed. And needless to say, the book itself is extremely boring and tedious to read. However, the book was uncomplicated, easy to follow and understand and very well organized. It does an excellent job at showing the political parties in different countries and the variety of problems that they face, with a general emphasis on economic problems, social democracy (healthcare, human rights) and environmental problems.
