A greater range of international examples

Discussion of non-western political structures

Issues of trust and apathy in voting systems

Analysis of the ‘war on terror’

Information on the role of the internet in politics

Accessible in style and topical in content, this book assumes no prior knowledge in politics, and is ideal reading for new undergraduates and all those interested in how politics operates.
