From the Paper:

"Comparative politics is the study of political systems, not as isolated cases, but instead through generalizations and comparisons. Comparative politics is comparing the government, issues, and policies of one country to another. Countries are very similar to people and often the best set of people to compare is a parent and child. Countries, like people, have parent-child relationships. One country controls another country but will eventually break away. However, on many levels the countries remain intertwined. A perfect example of this is England and India. England controlled India for hundreds of years until eventually India gained its independence. Although, India is no longer ruled by England, the Indian government, politics, and social issues are all very similar on many levels."
