ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Comparative politics is investigating internal processes within countries or political entities by comparing their characteristics according to a specific model. Though it can potentially address a wide range of aspects, comparative politics is most widely applied to such issues as politics of democratic and authoritarian states, political identity, regime change and democratization, voting behavior and a number of others.

Comparativists often ask how certain processes, for example, democratization, differ in specific states that still can be placed under the same analysis because they share certain characteristics.

Following the democratization example, let us take post-soviet countries. Comparativists may take most similar countries that share many similarities, such as Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), or most different countries, such as Estonia and Belarus. Here comparativists may ask, why Estonia developed a strong democratic regime, while Belarus fell into a consolidated authoritarian regime.

This is because the school student is not professional in painting skills but Alex would have hired a professional painter then the painter would have done the job better than the school student.
