Hello, I’m a political science newbie and I’d like to know why is it necessary for political scientists to compare different governments of different countries? Aside from the government itself, what else do we compare when we study comparative government/politics?
And what’s the difference between international relations and comparative government? Thanks!
it is important because it gives valuable information.

Comparative government is exactly what it says: comparing governments of different countries.
International relations is exactly what it says: how do different countries interact?
Comparative government also compares different cultures and histories of each country and how those tie into the government itself.
