Comparative Political Science

Each multi-volume set presents a collection of field-defining published works, both classical and contemporary, sourced from the foremost publications in the discipline by an internationally renowned editor or editorial team. They also include a full introduction, presenting a rationale for the selection and mapping out the past, present and likely future of each area.

The series covers both the key approaches to studying the discipline and the primary sub-fields that form the focus of political scientists' work.

The SAGE Library of Political Science will be an essential addition for university libraries throughout the world with an interest in Political Science.
