Do the political leaders get along with leaders in other countries
Answers
Answer:
By examining contrasts and commonalities across the four countries, this comparative analysis seeks, in part, to broaden the perspectives of those who focus on just one of these countries (or on any other single country). It shows that certain important features of a researcher’s chosen country, which they take for granted, are in fact distinctive, so that they merit greater attention. It can enhance their understanding of how their political system works, about the balance of forces within it, and about their own habits of mind. Comparisons with other cases reveal policy options and political choices that were rejected or never considered elsewhere. This enables observers of any single country to see how things might have been different – which in turn can broaden their view of the range of potential actions and cast what did happen in a fresh light. But (to reiterate), despite the many differences, political leaders in these countries had important things in common. In all four cases – in different systems and settings, where different leaders devised different policies – they evidently thought that poverty and inequality had to be addressed for political if not social reasons, and they demonstrated that it was possible by a diversity of means to make a significant impact. These leaders cannot be ignored.
