책 소개

Power & Choice offers an in-depth look into the nuances of politics through the analysis of collective choices for a group or state through the use of power. Organized topically and using extended case examples from around the world, Power & Choice provides undergraduate students with a clear and engaging introduction to political science and comparative politics.

The 16th Edition has been updated to address the issues raised by the covid-19 pandemic, as well as the impact the Trump and Biden presidencies have had so far upon the world and its democracies, including challenges in states such as Hungary where illiberal democracy and nationalism are on the rise. The authors have also included discussion of the impact of the death of George Floyd upon race relations in America, and how issues such as growing inequality are impacting politics. This edition adds examination of women’s economic development and the rising importance of LGBTQ issues globally.

출판사 서평

Power and Choice is a superior choice for an introductory undergraduate textbook in political science. It helps students achieve concept fluency and make clear connections between what is taught in class and what unfolds in the political world around them.--Rosalyn Cooperman, University of Mary Washington

Power and Choice is the perfect core text for introduction to political science courses with a global or comparative perspective. Rather than a country-by-country organization, it is organized by core concepts that students need to learn. Each conceptual chapter draws on essential literature in political science and provides highly accessible country cases and examples at the end. As a result, Shively has been my 'go to' for my introductory classes.--Amy Mazur, Washington State University

Power & Choice presents a rigorous and passionate analysis of politics from a comparative and global perspective. It provides clear and concise explanations on political science theories and empirics and reminds us that politics is the art of the possible. Simply the best introductory textbook on politics.--Wonik Kim, Louisiana State University

Power & Choice has been my preferred textbook for introductory political science courses for years. It covers all the key themes instructors are looking for, integrating the latest academic research seamlessly with contemporary real-world examples to make political science engaging and accessible to undergraduate students.--Erica Frantz, Michigan State University
