Laying the foundations for inquisitive study of comparative politics

Lindvall provides a uniquely accessible and truly global introduction to the principles and methodology of comparative politics, with learning features that build students' confidence in thinking critically about political systems and the data through which we can study them.

Key features - Interactive and easy-to-understand 'Learning from Data' exercises invite students to manipulate data across a range of variables, helping them become familiar with quantitative data. These exercises are available exclusively in the digital version.

- A wide range of detailed and illustrative case studies helps students connect the abstract to the concrete, and to expand their understanding of political systems, behaviours, and institutions across the globe.

- Research prompts support the growth of practical research skills and critical thinking.

- Multiple-choice self-test questions, with instant feedback, check and reinforce understanding as the student works through the book. These questions are available exclusively in the digital version.

- Author videos introduce each chapter and its importance; and lively, approachable commentary guides students through the fundamentals of comparative politics. These videos are available exclusively in the digital version.
