Tóm tắt

Comparative politics offers the integration of social scientific methods with knowledge of regions, history, culture, language, and foreign experience. This places comparative politics in a strategic position as liberal arts colleges redouble their efforts to internationalize the curriculum and promote the skills of "global citizenship." But this symbiosis is fragile as comparativists at liberal arts colleges struggle to keep up with the fieldwork done by colleagues at research institutions. The essay concludes with some suggestions for repositioning comparative politics at liberal arts colleges so that it can fulfill its strategic potential. © 2014 Northeastern Political Science Association.
