Summary: 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.
