Rezensionen

'Kenneth Newton and Jan W. van Deth have become so effective at presenting key theoretical concepts and a rich array of empirical material in an engaging and accessible style that I'm not at all surprised that Foundations of Comparative Politics is going into its fourth edition. This newest version provides an insightful analysis of the dynamics of populist authoritarianism and the future of democracy. It's first-rate work.' Ronald F. Inglehart, Lowenstein Professor of Political Science Emeritus, University of Michigan
