Summary, etc. This work is intended, as were the previous editions, as a textbook for<br/>courses in comparative government at the college and university level. The<br/>courses envisioned are those of a basic, general, and comprehensive nature.<br/>A country-by-country approach is employed, but considerable attention is<br/>given to comparing various aspects of the governments studied with each<br/>other as well as with that of the United States. The book is broader in scope<br/>than most of the texts in the field, including not only European governments<br/>but certain selected governments of the American and Asian areas.<br/>Because our political heritage comes largely from western Europe, the<br/>governments of England, France, and Germany are treated with the greatest<br/>emphasis. However, the very important role being played by non-Western<br/>nations in international relationships is recognized, and those sections deal-<br/>ing with the Soviet Union, Japan, and India have been enlarged from the<br/>second edition. In fact, this edition attempts to give added emphasis to the<br/>governments of such "small" but significant states as Canada and the coun-<br/>tries of Latin America.<br/>The institutional approach to the study of government, basic to earlier<br/>editions of this book, has been maintained in the third edition but has<br/>been augmented, where appropriate, by the use of devices and techniques<br/>of the behavioral sciences. The institutional approach considers the organi<br/>zation of governments, their constitutional basis, their sources of legitimacy,<br/>and their methods of operation. As used here, it seeks to understand the<br/>workings of governments by an analysis of their various components. Still<br/>widely used in the study of comparative governments, this approach is fre<br/>quently supplemented by new methods being developed by the behavioral<br/>sciences in an effort to achieve greater precision and greater possibility for<br/>prediction. The attempt has been made in this revision to use the newer<br/>methods and techniques as well as the proved methods of the institutionalists<br/>whenever these might contribute to better understanding.<br/>Care has been taken to sustain the strong emphasis placed on bibli-<br/>ographies located at the ends of the seven subdivisions of the book, and each<br/>has been revised and brought up to date. Texts of constitutions are not in-<br/>cluded, not only because they are readily available elsewhere, but also be-<br/>cause some governments, such as that of the Soviet Union, operate without<br/>meaningful reference to their constitutions.
