I think I have finally figured out what comparative politics is. It's only taken 8 weeks.

Well, I'm still not clear on political science either, and comparative politics is part of political science... But I get now that it's combining comparative methodology with substantive political science. The methodology is the important part. Still not good, but it is much better than the definition we got on the first day of class: "Comparative politics is the sort of scholarship practiced by political scientists holding positions in comparative politics."
