Synopsis

This is a comparative, conceptual introduction to political science, organized topically rather than country-by-country, providing in-depth examples at the end of most chapters to provide greater richness about various countries than a topical treatment would normally provide. The theme of 'power and choice,' based on a definition of politics as the making of collective choices for a group or state through the use of power, runs through much of the text.
