Continental Divide

Seymour Martin Lipset's highly acclaimed work is now available in paperback. Lipset draws material for his study from a number of sources: historical accounts, interpretations of literature and other creative arts by critics, qualitative studies of institutions such as law, religion, and government, aggregate statistics and survey data gathered by social scientists and commercial pollsters. Drawing a vivid portrait of the two countries,Continental Dividerepresents some of the best comparative social and political research being done today.
