Summary Of "What Is Comparative Politics?" By Franco Castiglioni - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

COMPARED POLITICS is the COMPARISON OF POLITICAL SYSTEMS, to explain their differences and similarities, patterns, regularities and processes; trends and changes, which serve to develop general propositions or hypotheses that describe and explain those trends. A secret is to KNOW, WITHOUT PREJUDICE, one's own political system and those of others so as not to fall into wrong ideas about how politics works in other parts (which is what North Americans or Europeans do with Latin Americans, or what they do with Africans ).
Comparing allows us to understand what "politics" is in different places, since in politics there are no universal meanings, since this meaning is given by the actors of each political system. PLURALITY must be PRIVILEGED. We have summarized the essentials of "Comparative politics", by Franco Castiglioni.
