Comparative Politics covers the study ofpolitical experience within more than one nation-state for the purpose of making systematic comparisons. Within comparative politics, there are two main approaches, the cross-national approach and the area studies approach.
Comparative public policy is an area of interdisciplinary study which uses public policy as its major unit of analysis for comparison across different systems and institutions, usually countries or governments. It typically asks questions about how, why, and to what effect different governments pursue different or similar policies.
