Understanding Comparative Politics
A Framework for Analysis
Mehran Kamrava, California State University, Northridge, USA
’This new edition of Mehran Kamrava’s Understanding Comparative Politics
exemplifies the changes that comparative political analysis has undergone in
the last 15 years. Kamrava examines current and past approaches to the
study of comparative politics, and proposes a new framework for analysis.
Focusing on twin themes - revolution and democratisation - he examines
state and social institutions, how they interact, and the context provided by
the political cultures from whence they operate. It will be essential reading
for all students of comparative politics.’ – Professor Jeffrey Haynes, London
