    Comparative government aims to improve understanding of different political systems through classification and analysis, enabling hypothesis testing and potentially prediction. It allows learning about less familiar places and interpreting overseas events. Researchers compare systems to formulate and examine questions about the impact of electoral processes, legislative chambers, and other factors on political outcomes.

    GOALS OF COMPARATIVE

    GOVERNMENT
    understanding of the political
    world (government), leading to
    improved classifications and
    giving potential for
    explanation and even prediction
    (Hague & Harrop, 2004)
    The first strength of a comparative approach is
    straightforward: it enables us to find out more
    about the places we know least about.
    This ability to interpret overseas events
    Comparative researchers seek to understand a
    variety of political (government) systems not just
    for its own sake but also to formulate and test
    hypotheses about politics (government).
    Comparative analysis enables us to develop
    and scrutinize such questions as: do first-past-
    the-post electoral systems always produce a
    two-party system? Are two-chambered
    assemblies only found under federalism? Are
    revolutions most likely to occur after defeat in
    war?
