As a field study, comparative study is as old as politics, ever since man became conscious of its environment and felt intersted in studying his environment and institutions. He has also became interested in studying how other men were living in different society and which way of living in was bettern than the others. As a part of this exercise, the students of politics naturally started studying and comparing the governments and political institutions of various societies. Theri endeavour came to be characterised as comparative government which, with the passage of time, came to be developed into a science of comparative politics. Its importance has immensly increased in contemporary times because of the new opportunities provided by the existence of more than 160 states managed by a variety of political structures and functions as well as due to the development of several new concepts, tools and approaches for the conduct of comparative studies.
