Di cosa parla
- Comparative politics combines analysis of political systems and actors with empirical methods to explain similarities and differences.
- Main tools include comparing similar or different cases, applying John Stuart Mill's rules for most similar and most different system designs, and using quantitative (large N) and qualitative (small N) analyses.
- Testing hypotheses involves covariation, causal direction postulation, and control of alternative explanatory variables to ensure valid conclusions about cause-effect relationships.
- Key concepts in comparative politics include measuring democracy through institutional settings and Freedom House's index, electoral systems like Gallagher's index for disproportionality, and government composition in parliamentary vs. presidential systems.
- Political corruption is studied differently over time; early views saw it as potentially beneficial, while contemporary views largely see it as harmful to economic and social development.
