Hosszú leírás:

A new entry on the Canadian market, Politics: An Introduction guides students through the basics of political ideologies and institutions before moving on to more complex concepts such as the importance of government, the organization of political systems, and the role of individuals and groups in society. With an emphasis on Canadian content throughout, the text also maintains an international scope by using case studies to examine and compare political issues in
'developed' and 'developing' countries around the world. Featuring extensive pedagogy and a beautiful full-colour design, this new text offers students an accessible, comprehensive entry into the field of political studies.
