For courses in Introduction to Comparative Politics A Critical View of International Political Systems Countries and Politics, Geography, Culture is a critical examination of comparative politics and political systems. The text rejects theories of smoothly functioning systems and embraces the mistakes that countries inevitably make, taking a skeptical approach to understanding international political systems.

Understanding politics as a series of ongoing quarrels for which no good solution has been found, the material views international political systems through a dubious lens.

It gives a foundation, a framework to understand the underlying logic of how the world is running. Politics is the base of everything. And the author lends us a lens to see how a country’s path, past, geography could shape its future. Things have patterns.

Required for intro to comparative politics. Setup so that it’s easy to read and comprehend. I recommend it if you’re curious to how our (U.S.A.) government is setup compared to others.

中国和巴西的章节被整个删除了，不太明白为啥要删除巴西，好在找到了一个补充翻译

可供查阅和速览，介绍思路可以成为认识一个国家的框架：历史影响、制度文化、当前问题等。

感觉翻译得有点乱…看了大概四分之三，有点看不下去了。
回头去看看原版
