Introduction To Politics Power

Introduction to Politics fits the first year introductory political science course offered in political science departments. This innovative Canadian text offers a truly contemporary perspective in the study of political science. In keeping with the growing interest in global economy, this book recognizes the intertwined relationship between politics and economics as a means of organizing human activity toward the attainment of common goals. Although attention is paid to a historical and conceptual survey of international political economy, the text maintains Canadian content in its case study and example material. Pedagogical tools such as glossary, self-assessment questions, visuals, suggested readings, and web links help illustrate important points. Students will benefit from the text's accessible tone and seamless integration of key concepts from the disciplines of political science and economics. The end result is a comprehensive introduction to political science designed not only to meet the general interest needs of Canadian students but also to prepare students for further study in the field.
