Informative, but horribly dry. Additionally, it spends a needless amount of time on a large number of basic concepts and subsequently glosses over some of the more important ones. A middling textbook, I suppose, but the material can be presented much better.

This is a college text on political systems. It compares various forms of government as well as the processes of each form. It also examines what political systems are used in the different regions of the world.

Versiunea aceasta este tradusă destul de prost, cu multe cuvinte legate între ele, greșeli de tipul din cauză/ datorită și cu un sentiment constant de exprimare diferită față de original. La nivel de conținut nu mă pronunț, fiind o primă lectură în direcția aceasta. Cea în engleză este și structurată diferit- cel putin ediția cea nouă.

Informative, but poorly written and structured. Sad.
