Very well written introduction to the methodological techniques of Comparative Politics. Concise, excellent examples, and clear diction. Would recommend for Political Science students.

Very good book. I have learned which are the hottest research topics in political science: political violence, non-violence, human rights, we have learned about small n, large n, Mill's difference method, all kinds of useful stuff for a successful political scientist. I would teach this as one of the first topics in the advanced political science degress.
