Organized in parallel fashion to facilitate cross-national comparison, the sections on each nation address several topical areas of inquiry: political culture and heritage, government structure and institutions, political parties and leaders, conflict and resolution, and modernization and development. A thoroughly rewritten final chapter on South Asia in the world system discusses the IndiaPakistan conflict, the rise of militant Islam, India's emergence as a world economic power, and democratization.
