This Sixth Edition of Comparative Politics Today: A Theoretical Framework contains a substantially revised set of chapters that include review questions as well as a guide to the key themes in each chapter. The chapters have been revised for greater readability, and we have expanded the number of illustrative example boxes. The new edition also incorporates more thorough discussion of global- ization and its components and consequences. In its analysis of public policy, Chapter 7 introduces its concept of "political goods" with reference to the United Nations Millennium Goals and more systematically treats policy goals and consequences, including welfare, fairness, liberty, and security outcomes.
