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