  'A really excellent text...An outstanding success.' - Gerry Stoker, Professor of Politics, University of Strathclyde 'An admirable text for any course designed to introduce students to political science...it is written throughout with enviable clarity. Important and difficult terms are explained particularly well and the author consistently presents different and rival interpretations and definitions in a balanced manner.' - John Greenaway, Lecturer in Politics, University of East Anglia 'I can't really imagine a book of this scope being done better...a remarkable achievement to cover so much and with such concision' - Chris Brown, Professor of Politics, University of Southampton Politics is a fascinating and exciting subject; but it is also a huge one, covering areas as different as comparative government, political philosophy, international relations, political economy and so on. Politics is a new kind of textbook. Stimulating, succinct and accessible, it offers a truly comprehensive introduction to the study of politics, written from an international perspective. Key concepts and the ideas of major thinkers are clearly explained and cross-referenced throughout, together with an analysis of important debates and a full glossary of political terms.
