520			_aUnderstanding Comparative Politics: Then & Now is a unique text that critically evaluates contemporary and historical methodologies in comparative politics. Comparative politics has evolved from a state-centric, descriptive analysis to a more theoretically diverse, methodologically sophisticated, and globally oriented field, enriching our understanding of political phenomena in an interconnected world. The present academic endeavour is a succinct overview of various modern methodologies employed in the field of Comparative Politics, the evolving nature of Comparative Politics, debates over the nature of the state, perspectives of state, democratic and authoritarian regimes, globalization, and its impact on the sovereignty of state, analysis of constitution and constitutionalism, party and electoral systems and the concept of Consociationalism. It provides a comprehensive understanding of political trends, concepts, and exposure to politics across various nations thereby introducing students to key debates in the field. It examines how interests, identities, and institutions shape nation’s politics and offers a comprehensive understanding of complex global politics in an easy-to-follow style. The objective is not to establish a novel paradigm in comparative politics, but rather to provide direction for a developing analytical framework that investigates politics within diverse national, political, social, and cultural context. The book is an accessible resource for students and those interested in gaining core knowledge of political science in today’s changing global order.
