Comparing or Comparison is one way knowing the flaw of something. By doing so, you can criticize whether a decision is wrong or not. Furthermore, it allows us to discover more about other things around us on how things are alike or different.
In Comparing Countries we can discover why some countries are better off than the other, and or why some countries are alike. From the book "Issues and Methods in Comparative Politics"By Todd Landman , he explains than comparing countries is one good way of analyzing how countries were able to came to be on their success and failures, it is more of a behavioral thing where the outcome depends on how the people involved acts as actors. Moreover, being able to classify the differences and similarities of other countries can make the world of politics less complex as it is already is. Also, it will be easier to make future predictions on countries that are bound to experience the same struggles or success of other countries. Even though Todd Landman made a very good argument, I believe that comparing one country from another is not enough to be able to predict its future. Yes, there is a possibility for it to happen but it is as great as the possibility for it not to happen as well.
Among all other countries, I firmly believe that Japan is one of the important state besides the United States. It is an innovative state where it embraces all changes that suits its needs and development. Other than being important, it is surely impressive for having a very "colorful" political experiences. When I say colorful meaning it experienced a lot of changes in its government for the last centuries and still it was able to cope up with the changes, because unlike other countries Japan was able to embraced the changes that is happening to them as they flow along with it. Moreover, Japan's politics is not that different with other states and it also it experienced a lot of success and failures where other countries can really learn from. One example of this is after the WWII, where after few years time they were able to stand up and even made it to top of the economy among other countries.
