This is an excellent book for students in comparative politics. It not only challenges the present state of the art, but also shows fresh avenues to do comparative research in the 21st Century. All chapters provide us with new insights as well as how to apply alternative methods. I hold that the different contributions are a 'must read' for both students and established researchers to take in and to discuss. --- Hans Keman, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands and former Editor of the European Journal of Political Research
