This concise, well-written textbook covers a broad range of comparative politics concepts in an accessible manner. The author's use of maps helps students visualize how theoretical concepts play out in a real-world context.

This book takes a new and interesting approach to introduce students to the foundations of comparative politics.

Mapping Comparative Politics does a fantastic job of making sense of our complex world, while introducing a varied toolkit for comparative analysis. The generation of students in our classrooms today are highly visual thinkers and Langenbacher brilliantly uses a variety of maps to help them understand dynamics of power, politics and legitimacy from different perspectives. With its truly global outlook and lots of engaging examples, this book makes teaching comparative politics both systematic and fun.

This book successfully introduces a new reader to core theories and concepts of comparative politics, all the while interweaving timely and illustrative case studies. It is also thoroughly accessible and creative, enabling a wide coverage of topics from the largest and most complex of institutions (states and regimes) to the most local of interactions (civil society). The case for educating students in comparative politics has never been stronger, and I look forward to using this text in my class.
