Studying Politics by Perry Rand Dyck,Christopher Gordon Anderson Pdf

"Studying Politics starts out with a gentle introduction to the subject of politics and political science--especially appealing to those who may not have formally encountered this discipline before--and then maintains an even presentation of the subject, avoiding confusing jargon and continuing to engage the reader throughout. Its conceptual/comparative approach works outward from Canada to other industrialized developed democracies, then to the developing world and finally to the global scene. With Studying Politics, events that once felt like moving targets will settle easily into the students' broader context, and provide readers with a better understanding of the dynamics that keep our political spectrum fluid and fascinating. This text continues to highlight topical and controversial issues in political science from across the four-fields --Political Thought, International Relations, Comparative Politics and Canadian Politics--including cultural pluralism, women's issues, globalization, political development, terrorism, regime change, and an expanded discussion of Islamic political theory, Sharia law, and the Islamic role in world affairs."--
