Default Suggest book for Comparative & Developmental Politics (MA I)
Please suggest a book that would help me in preparing MA Part I, Paper III 'Comparative & Developmental Politics'. (Must be in English) Or if someone could tell me where I can download an ebook, that would be fine too!

The syllabus is:

Paper ‘III’: Comparative and Developmental Politics:

PART I:
1. Approaches to comparative Politics. (a) Traditional approach: its characteristics & critique. (b) Behavioural approach and its characteristics.
2. The political system-basic concepts, characteristics, functions with reference to the work of David Easton and Almond and Coleman; and its critique.
3. Political Culture: its meaning, elements, Kind and its relevance/importance to the study of political system.
PART II: Political Development:
1. Political Development. (a) Meanings; (b) Characteristics and (c) Indicators of political development/modernization,
2. Socio-political Change: (a) Major theories and their functional implications.
3. Leadership: (a) Political leadership, nature and problems-political parties. (b) Bureaucratic and Military leadership.
4. Major issues and problems of political development. (a) National identity and integration. (b) Legitimacy and participation. (c) State-building. (d) Anomic political activity and violence.

Default @deadlydoctor
I'm sorry but I've downloaded & checked all 3 books and they don't have anything related to the syllabus I mentioned in my post!

Thanks for trying to help though, if no ebooks then could someone tell me a book which I can buy form the market that covers most of this syllabus? I've tried searching on the internet but I can't find relevant material, and even if I find it the hourly power outages we're having make it very difficult to study material on the PC.
