Review

I see this book being a primary text used for Introduction to Political Science courses. ... I think the competitive advantage is that the authors tried to ensure that each subfield in the discipline was adequately represented in the book. I really liked this, because often times authors focus on one or two subfields and ignore the rest." - Henry Tecklenburg, Georgia Southern UniversityIt is comprehensive, clear, and uses engaging examples. ... Uses theme of citizenship to cover topics rather than standalone chapters on different subfields making it more engaging and interesting to other comparable books." - Mary-Kate Lizotte, Augusta University
