Product Description
Accessible and engaging throughout, this introductory text examines politics from a Canadian, comparative, and international perspective. Guiding students through the basics of political ideologies and institutions before moving on to more complex concepts, this text covers essential questions regarding politics, such as who has power in society and why, how might groups participate in political activity, how can we distinguish among so many types of political systems, how is wealth distributed, and why is conflict so prevalent in the world today?\
This newly updated edition includes new coverage of populism, the rebirth of protectionist nationalism, and the politics of climate change, and continues to use current examples and case studies from Canada and around the world.\
Review
"This textbook does a great job in articulating a wide range of complex and relevant concepts in a manner that is appealing and helpful to introductory students. The writing style and organization of the material is superb." âSaira Bano, Mount Royal University\
"The major strengths of this text are its systematic organization covering the four major fields of political science: political theory, Canadian politics, international relations and comparative politics; its reliance on Canadian examples to illustrate points that are made in the text; and the clear discussion of different political concepts by integrating them into the analysis of political development in different areas of the world. âBruce Smardon, York University
