Introduction to Politics brings together an expert team of authors to producethe definitive introductory politics textbook. The book is divided into threesections, reflecting the areas of expertise of each of the three authors: concepts and ideologies, comparative politics, and International Relations. This is an intellectually stimulating, yet accessible, introduction to the subject,which reflects the realities of current global politics. The book moves beyond a descriptive account of the subject; instead, students are introduced to the debates and inherent complexities of the topics covered. The book's analytical approach will challenge students, rather than providing them with one definite line of argument. The book avoids a focus on Western democracies and assumptions of liberal democratic supremacy, instead illustrating points by using examples from a wide range of countries. Further, a third of the book is dedicated to international relations, and throughout, the book considers transnational factors and forces. Introduction to Politics is accompanied by an innovative Online Resource Centre
