Jackson, Robert J.
Issues in compararive politics : a text with readings - London Macmillan 1971 - 412 p.
Designed for use in courses of comparative politics, this book reflects the growing
trend towards cross-national analysis in the study of comparative politics.
it is the authors' thesis that the problems of order and disorder are of over-
riding concern for all political systems. With this theme in mind, they have there-
fore organized the book around five issues that relate directly to this problem:
political development, political integration, political stability, political protest, and
political revolution. This organization recognizes that the student today is often
less interested in the institutions a society has built to manage its problems than
in the nature of the problems themselves.
Each of these sections contains an introductory essay specially written for
this volume, which outlines the various classifications used in studying the issue,
and evaluates different kinds of explanations--historical, economic, sociological,
and political. Each essay concludes with a discussion of contemporary research
and is followed by four readings that illustrate the most advanced theories about
the issues and provide case studies of problems connected with them.
