"While only a statistician could properly evaluate theauthors'methodology, they have compiled a book which willwell deserve the attention of the world's politicalscientists and global strategists." (ReferenceReviews Journal, 2011) "Recognizing the need for more a more nuanced approach tocross-national comparison, the authors of A Political Atlas ofthe Modern World have developed a multidimensionalclassification that encompasses and enhances existing tools. Bycombining critical concepts in comparative politics andinternational relations, the Atlas serves as a valuablereference for scholars and practitioners, as well as a remarkabletool for students to evaluate global politics and better understandmethods of political research." --Erik Herron, University of Kansas "This volume provides one of the most ambitious attempts atclassifying political systems across the world, based upon existingempirical data. The volume not only critically assesses existingdata sets but tries to tap into the data to provide a series ofrankings that might be used by comparative political scientists.This will be a very useful source for years to come." --John Ishiyama, University of North Texas
