Comparative Politics Reconsidered : From the Viewpoint of Non-Western World

比较政治学的主流倾向于从关键概念出发，这些概念是通过西方国家的经验构建的。相比之下，我们的项目从对非西方世界各国的深远研究开始，试图重新考虑主流论点的前提。具体而言，我们的调查包括：俄罗斯和后苏联国家，东南亚，拉丁美洲，中国，台湾，韩国，中东伊斯兰世界，巴尔干国家，南亚和非洲国家。通过这些研究，我们试图重新考虑一些关键概念：政治制度，市场经济和政治，种族和民族主义，全球化的影响，政治学和政治科学家在每个国家的地位。

The mainstream of comparative politics has tended to start from key concepts, which were constructed through experiences of Western countries. Our project, in contrast, has sought to reconsider the premise of mainstream arguments, starting from the far-reaching research on various countries of non-Western world. Specifically, our investigation include such various countries as : Russia and post-Soviet countries, South-Eastern Asia, Latin America, China, Taiwan, Korea, Middle East Islamic world, Balkan countries, South Asia, and African countries. Through these researches we have attempted to reconsider such key concepts as : political institutions, market economy and politics, ethnicity and nationalism, the impact of globalization, the place of political science and political scientist in each country.
