Review:
This book provides authoritative and accessible coverage of the three main building blocks of the modern study of politics. Professor Wyn Grant, University of Warwick Introduction to Politics is an outstanding textbook... I found it to be perfectly tuned to our students. Unlike many introductory books, it nicely balances political theory, comparative politics and international relations [and] combines history, theory and empirical data in just the right measures...Overall, an outstanding text that will serve teachers and students in the UK, North America and more widely, well. Dr Anthony F. Lang, University of St Andrews A tour de force of relevant and important information woven into a contemporary framework. Ken Duckett, University of Kent An absolute must for anyone interested in politics. It achieves the invaluable task of successfully demonstrating the pervasiveness of politics and will get all readers thinking politically... An invigorating back-to-basics read that reminded me why I first got interested in politics. Dr Liam Weeks, University College, Cork A first class introduction to the study of politics that is informed, incisive and accessible. Gillian Peele, University of Oxford
