In this unique adaptation of the "cross-cultural" method to comparative politics, a computer is used to compare all of the 115 independent governments in the world. The result is a body of readable two-way cross-classifications from which the major patterns of political phenomena can be perceived at a glance.

New Haven 1967 1st Human Relations Area Files. This volume contains statements, in sentences in English, of some 20,000 statistically significant correlations that tell us what classes of cultures co-occur or overlap with other classes.... Perhaps with the help of this volume the chasm between configurationalists and structuralists, at the one extreme, and the cross-cultural comparativists at the other will be bridged. - George D. Spindler in introduction Lg.4to., 536pp., red cloth hardcover. Near Fine, no DJ.
