Politik steht zunehmend unter dem Einfluss von Religion, insbesondere in Nord- und Südamerika.

Practices of comparing shape how we perceive, organize, and change the world.

Like almost no other human practice, comparing pervades all social, political, economic, and cultural spheres. This volume outlines the program of a new research agenda that places comparative...
