Introduction to Political Science: An Anthology provides students with significant scholarly literature in the discipline to familiarize them with various aspects of and themes within political science. Opening chapters introduce students to the study of politics, a variety of ideological perspectives, and the concept of nationalism. Dedicated chapters speak to the concepts of democracy, anarchism, socialism, and fascism. Students develop a deeper understanding of the legislative branch of government, the presidency, and the federal judiciary. Additional readings discuss bureaucracy, political socialization, interest groups, political parties and elections, and revolution. For each chapter, introductions and key terms provide readers with valuable context and critical vocabulary. Thought-provoking discussion questions encourage critical thought, lively conversation, and further exploration of the selected texts and concepts. The second edition features six updated readings and a new chapter title "The International System." The new readings explore a wide range of topics such as the U.S. Constitution, the politics of bureaucracy, the United Nations, unconventional political participation, and president-press relations and the politics of media. Providing students with a concise overview of the discipline, Introduction to Political Science is an ideal resource for foundational courses.
