Topic talk:Comparative politics

I would like to suggest that we break down the subjects individually, federalism contra unitary governance, republics contra constitutional monarchies, Presidential contra parliamentary democracy, rather than mixing them. I believe that this might lead to confusion of the topics. And then, of course, delving into democracy contra authoritarianism and authoritarian democracy. J.Manchester - 19/12/06, 23:14

Templates
You may want to use Template:Division boilerplate to create an initial structure for Topic:Comparative Politics. Just add to the page, and save the page. An alternative would be to use Template:Department boilerplate, but I suspect Comparative Politics is a large enough subject that it can have multiple departments within it.

Suggest split of first talking point
In your introduction, you say that your first focus will be "Parliamentary versus the Federal Republic". However, it seems to me that you are trying to make two very different comparisons at once. I suggest this be split into two analysis: "Parliamentary versus Republic" and "Unitary versus Federal". --Arctic.gnome 03:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Here is an example of two axes in which we could divide the first level of analysis. I know that this list is completely Anglo-centric, but that's what I know, so feel free to add other states to it. --Arctic Gnome 16:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
