A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Australian Political Institutions 8e introduces students to the structure and organisation of the institutions and functions of government in Australia, with reference to relevant contemporary issues and debates.

As an introduction to the principles of political science the text provides an analysis of key issues in the Australian political system in a clear and concise manner. This new eighth edition builds on the strengths of the previous books while making the material even more accessible and appealing. The new edition features new two colour format with updated visual material, a running glossary and interest boxes to engage the reader. The content has been substantially revised and updated in response to reviewer comments and suggestions as well as reflecting the Australian political scene post 2004 election results.

Comments from reviewers of the 7th edition:

“This book is the best introduction for politics non-specialists and for students with no previous exposure to the subject. It is clear and concise and highly informative.”
Jeff Archer, University of New England

“Gives a comprehensive coverage of federal political institutions at a relatively affordable price for students – very easy to read, a sound introductory level text.”
Ros Irwin, Southern Cross University
“This text is great for providing information on Australian politics. Its strongest points are its charts, figures and boxes. If you want to know something about the workings of Australian politics this is the place to go.”
Greg Melleuish, University of Wollongong

“Easy to understand, excellent combination of information and introduction to sophisticated analysis of issues. I also find it very useful in later year Australian politics subjects.”
Doug Hunt, James Cook University
