Answer to Question 2
Comparative politics is the systematic search for answers to political questions about how people around the world make and contest authoritative public choices. In contrast to a course in international relations, comparative politics tends to focus on politics within different countriesboth in terms of their similarities and their differenceswhile international relations concentrate on the interactions between countries. A comparative approach to understanding politics around the world asks questions about unexpected events or patterns of eventssuch as why some countries are rich while other similar countries remain poor, or why conflict plagues some societies while other similar societies remain peaceful. A comparative approach also generates hypotheses that offer potential explanations for such puzzling patterns, and tests those hypotheses against evidence we gather from the real world to develop arguments using what we call the comparative method. The comparative method involves comparing and contrasting cases (a set of countries, for example) that share attributes or characteristics but differ on the outcome being exploredor that have a variety of attributes but experience the same outcome. The goal of comparing countries in this way is to generate convincing answers to our questions about what politics is all about.
