5.0 out of 5 stars
Cornerstone of the discipline,
By The Policy Doctor (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comparative Politics: Rationality, Culture, and Structure (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics) (Paperback)
This is a great piece of work. The essays are short and concise. If you plan on taking graduate exams, START with this book to find out how to carve up the discipline. Read this book about 1 week before your exam, you won't be sorry.
This is also a book with theory applications. The chapters on structures and rational choice are particularly strong in that vein. This is also a book you will want to own so you can mark it up.
