Reviews\"The country studies are very thorough, including a good discussion of the history of each country, its political organization, participation, and current events. I especially like the extensive discussion of economic issues. I am very impressed with this text.\"

\"The four themes allow students to focus on a comparison of the workings of politics rather than just the technical organization of the political system. By consistently applying these themes to each of the countries the authors provide logic and structure to the material that can be used to effectively structure the class discussions.\"

\"The most detailed and thorough in the presentation of country-level information Easily surpasses the competition in the uniform quality and depth of each chapter. .The four themes capture important theories and question in the field of comparative politics: they correspond to four \'lenses\' to viewing distinct dimensions of political life and change. Students have responded well.\"
