This introductory textbook provides the ideal basis for students coming to politics for the first time. Opening with the question "What is Politics?" and then exploring the four major "elements": Comparative Institutions, Political Ideologies, Public Administration, and International Relations, this book is divided into five easy-to-use sections, each with a guide to literature for further study. Each chapter ends with two essay questions, making this an ideal teaching and revision tool.
