- Summary
- The role of the United States in comparative politics and policy analysis has long been that of the Great Exception. Generalizations are routinely followed by the statement "but not in America." In Only in America? The Politics of the United States in Comparative Perspective, Graham K. Wilson argues that a more accurate qualifier might be "with minor differences in America," because, judged by criteria such as the size of government, citizens' expectations of government, and the topics being debated in government, the United States has more in common with other advanced industrial democracies than with its own past.
