Cengage Learning, Inc Politics in a Changing World
Providing a foundation for a comparative understanding of political life, POLITICS IN A CHANGING WORLD includes in-depth chapters on political science concepts (ideology, political culture, interest groups, governmental institutions, parties) followed by a series of brief country studies. The concepts and country studies help students acquire a better understanding of the actors and institutions that play a part in diverse political systems, how and why they act in relation to one another, and what their actions mean for the political system and its citizens. The Seventh Edition is thoroughly updated throughout, including coverage of the global economic crisis, the 2012 United States election, the Conservative Party-Liberal Democratic Party coalition and the victory of a new Conservative Prime Minister in Great Britain, and the democratic upheavals in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world.

University of Notre Dame Press Democracy and Its Limits: Lessons from Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East
Eleven papers drawn from a May 1997 conference of the same name (sponsored by the U. of Wisconsin's Center for Latin America and Center for International Studies) are presented by Handelman (political science, U. of Wisconsin) and Tessler (political science, U. of Arizona). Somehow managing to avoid a detailed discussion of U.S. foreign policy, the papers discuss structural and cultural factors that limit progress towards procedural democracy in different parts of the world. Specific countries examined include China, Korea, Brazil, the Philippines, and Mexico, while other contributions discuss regional characteristics of Latin America, the Middle East, and elsewhere.
