"This post is to explain why comparative policy analysis must start with sovereign states, rather than their subnational entities. This includes urbanism, despite the anti-national orientation of some urbanists. In particular, all of the following claims that I routinely have to deal with are incorrect:"

"Politics in virtually all first-world democracies is nationalized. Political parties are nationally unified, and the president (if executive) or prime minister is a well-known national figure. Regional politicians can have special features relevant to their region, for example big city mayors tend to be more cosmopolitan than is the norm for their parties but are still understood to represent the party and its governance. Even in countries with a split between national and provincial parties, like Canada, there is enough overlap that one can talk about the Doug Ford faction of the Conservatives and about the factions Pierre Poilievre is appealing to even though Ford runs Ontario and isn’t a federal politician."

"None of this exists across national boundaries. The EU has EU-wide party umbrellas so that one can identify green parties, social democratic parties, right-liberal parties, Christian democratic parties, various flavors of extreme right parties, and so on, but it’s almost unheard of to attack a party in national politics based on what another party in the same umbrella group in a different member state. Even on fundamental issues, parties that coordinate closely may differ: there’s an umbrella group of agrarian Nordic parties, whose Norwegian member is strongly against joining the EU and whose Swedish and Finnish members are not particularly euroskeptical within the Union (its Danish member is the main center-right party and supports joining the euro)."

"Different enacted policies can be used as a mirror with which one judges one’s own country’s politics. Thus, in Sweden, people extensively look at what other Nordic countries do and try to learn lessons, or, more often, pick and choose examples to justify their preconceptions of what Sweden should do. Finnish education was very popular in Sweden in the 2010s as an aspirational comparison. In Finland, the Green Party, Vihr, looked at the shutdown of nuclear power in Germany without adequate renewable replacement, and decided against backing a similar policy for Finland; the party supports maintaining the nuclear plants for now. But it would be unthinkable in Finnish politics to attack Vihr for a policy backed by the German Greens, or even by the Swedish Greens, Mp; for example, Mp voted against joining NATO, but this has not led to any attacks on Vihr, which voted in favor and which is in support of rearmament to deter Russia."
