<em>Comparative politics is investigating internal processes within countries or political entities by comparing their characteristics according to a specific model.</em> Though it can potentially address a wide range of aspects, comparative politics is most widely applied to such <em>issues </em>as <u>politics of democratic and authoritarian states</u>, <u>political identit</u>y, <u>regime change</u> and <u>democratization</u>, <u>voting behavior</u> and a number of others.
<em>Comparativists often ask</em> 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 <u>democratization example</u>, let us take post-soviet countries.
