Teaching Comparative Government and Politics

Wandering Through Cyberspace


While trolling on the Internet, I came across an old web page created by Dr. Iren Omo-Bare of Millsaps College in Jackson, MS.

It's dated 1997 (which makes it an antique on the web), but it might contain useful information for a comparative government and politics teacher.

The title of the page is "Lecture 1: Introduction: What is comparative Politics

There are other of Dr. Omo-Bare's pages on the Millsaps web site that might be useful. For instance, there's a list of questions for the Comprehensive Examination in Comparative/International Relations.

Web exploration can still be fun and enlightening if you have time for it.

And here's one more: If you go to the Wikipedia page on "Comparative Government," you'll find that there's not much there. Since anyone who registers can add to or edit a Widipedia page, you can. Or, even better, you can send your students to flesh out the bare bones of that page. Extra credit, anyone?
