Scholarly, comparative politics concentrates on the study and the effects of political culture, institutions and individual decision-making in different political systems around the world. This field also observes how political practices and organizations vary across counties. Also, the study of the historical record these political processes and structures have gone through over the millennia.
Comparative Politics analyses the political conduct and biases of both political leaders and ordinary citizens. The major areas of study include war and peace, democracy and its structure, dictatorship variants, peaceful and revolutionary regime change as well as economic progress.
As a separate subfield from International Relations, Comparative Politics often traces the domestic origins of foreign policy and the influence of the international system on domestic political actions and consequences.

Many challenges face the state related to human rights and gender issues. Moreover, how growth of non-state actors affects individuals and groups rights are protected in the process. Immigration is today a multifaceted sociopolitical phenomenon that needs much attention specially, in populists’ nations. In our historical past different waves of immigration mainly to the United States emphasized diversity within every immigrant group, as well as differences and similarities regarding their acculturation process and the capacity to incorporate newcomers into civic life.
World Politics
As the world developed and peoples migrated and organized in various forms of societies, group behavior has become another area of study. Theories related to world politics, including dependency, hegemony, geopolitics, regional integration, multi-lateral relation, trans-nationalism, nationalism, and ethnic conflict must be included in the historical study of human organizations and its conflicting ideas.
International Organizations Founded to Discourage Conflict
The role and influence the United Nations has had in international relations in conflict resolution since its foundation in post-world war, has been positive for preventing another world conflagration to date. Other regional international organizations such as the Organization of American States and NATO in addition to many trade blocs are designed to promote human development but also include programs about security, human rights, economic progress, and environmental protection.
