Comparative political theory

Comparative political theory, comparative political thought, or comparative political philosophy, is a subfield of political theory that expands the traditional boundaries of Western-centric political philosophy to incorporate insights from non-Western traditions, indigenous philosophies, and cross-cultural dialogues. Comparative political theory seeks to understand political concepts, ideologies, and practices across various cultural, historical, and intellectual contexts. It also aims to create a richer, more inclusive understanding of politics by comparing and engaging with philosophical systems from diverse global traditions.
