About Comparative Government
Comparative government studies how political systems are organised and operate across countries. It covers constitutions, executive and legislative relations, judicial review, federal and unitary structures, parliamentary and presidential systems, elections, political parties and pressure groups, with attention to how institutional arrangements differ from the broader normative questions of political theory.
