Summary, etc. First, there are aspects of comparative politics with which this<br/>book does not deal but which other introductory texts spend much space<br/>outlining. Twenty-five years ago most comparative texts went into great<br/>detail about institutional, constitutional, and other configurational differ-<br/>ences among the political systems considered most important (very often<br/>those of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union). While<br/>some texts still use this traditional approach, it began to come under criti-<br/>cism in the 1950s for focusing too much on the formal institutions of govern-<br/>ment and too little on the deviations from constitutional provisions, the roles<br/>of semipublic and private groupings (parties, unions, citizen coalitions, busi-<br/>ness and professional associations), and in general the variety of informal<br/>ways in which governments are run or influenced. A good introduction to<br/>foreign governments (a more appropriate title for the institutional approach)<br/>would quickly have to amend its description of structural differences among<br/>the governments covered to note that the real stuff of politics does not<br/>necessarily follow prescribed lines.
