Politics: An Introduction

by Barry Axford, Richard Huggins, Rico Isaacs

This textbook has been carefully designed to meet the needs of students taking introductory courses in Politics. It is accessible and exciting, and by taking the widest possible definition of what is political it offers unrivalled coverage of the subject.
Specially designed as an interactive text, it includes think points, exercises and extracts as well as a range of illustrative material to stimulate responses from the reader.

They introduce topical issues and examples to bring the subject to life.

[Alexander Draganov · Rating 4 out of 5]

Доста тежък стил, което обяснява и ниската средна оценка, която учебникът има от читателите в сайта. Но някои от нещата, които авторите са описали теоретично намират практическо потвърждение в следващите години, поради което книгата заслужава вниманието на хората, интересуващи от тази материя.

The book is good if someone wants to understand how the Western world ( U.S and U.K) works.
