A graduate seminar that pushes you past textbook surveys of "how countries differ" into the actual machinery of comparative analysis: how scholars build theories about states, regimes, parties, and political economies, and how they defend those claims against rival cases. Most weeks you'll read a full monograph (Polanyi, Berman, Kitschelt, Svolik, Bayat, and others) and produce response papers, culminating in a term paper proposal and a presentation of your own research design. It's a methods-through-substance course, the readings model how to frame a comparative question, and the assignments train you to do the same, which is why it sits as a foundation for dissertation work in the department.
