Comparative Politics and the Comparative Method

Comparative politics is something that is often overlooked by students. According to this article, it is a highly underused way of analyzing information and putting it to use. The comparative method is exactly that; a method. It is a specific approach, much like the scientific method. This method however, is not a technique. This method is more scientific than political, however it enriches the political mind. To teach the comparative method is to teach comparative politics and to enrich the student beyond the standard curriculum that is upheld today.
