[Mayim de Vries · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good textbook for those with little or no exposure to the subject area.

[Lucy Harding · Rating 1 out of 5]

So boring, so painful

[Metodi Pachev · Rating 3 out of 5]

Relatively good introductory text on comparative politics. It is, however, not very critical, and presents all phenomena in the same three categories/environments: liberal democracies, authoritarian states, and illiberal democracies. Some fallacies like 'communism=totalitarianism' are also present.

[Kim Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written so that even I could follow the concepts :)

easy read and a lot of facts

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

All the basics of politics, simply explained with many diagrams and examples. On average, a more useful textbook than many others.

[Alma · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book covered the very basics. I found it didn't delve very deep into the history of it's subject matter.
