"This book takes a new and interesting approach to introduce students to the foundations of comparative politics." —Marni Berg, Colorado State University Comparative Politics: Mapping Institutions, Power, and Legitimacy introduces students to the foundations of comparative politics while using mapping and data analysis to encourage them to think critically about ever-changing global relationships. Author Eric Langenbacher examines the key concepts of power and legitimacy through a variety of viewpoints, emphasizing the choices institutions make and why they make them. As students explore themes through world geography and data-based cases, they learn to reevaluate traditional ideas about national and other political borders and better assess the performance of political institutions.
