Can't tell Mexico from Nigeria…or, uh, the United Kingdom, Russia, Iran, and China? Shmoop's guide to AP Comparative Government & Politics will have you comparing their politics (not to mention their governments) in no time at all.
In this guide, you'll learn
- the differences between comparing governments and comparing politics.
- what political scientists really mean when they talk about cleavages in politics (hint: not what you think).
