AP Comparative Government and Politics

The following chart shows the units we must cover for this part of the course with the respective textbook and chapters that are to be covered. The reading for this part of the course is heavy. I highly recommend getting ahead as time permits. "Read on McDuff and damned be him who first cries hold enough!" (It never hurts to throw a bit of Willy in on a webpage to give it class)
