Different perspectives

If you're interested in alternative visions about teaching comparative politics and government to the one you get here, check these out:

Kevin James teaches comparative government and politics at Albany High School in Albany, California. He maintains a blog very much like this one for his students. It's called AHS Comparative Government.

But, he looks at different sources than I do and notes different things. That's the wonder of multiple perspectives. I heartily recommend Kevin James' blog. Take a look and/or subscribe. You'll get more and different ideas to help you teach this complicated course.

Another blog that has valuable content for teaching comparative is Daniel Lazar's teaching blog. He teaches at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin.

He posts things about several courses he teaches, but the January archive is almost exclusively about China and Russia. there is a very helpful categorized list of entries on the blog's front page that makes it easy to link to the gems Daniel Lazar has found.

Take a look at this blog too. You might want to subscribe to both.
