Riassunto

The Introduction to Politics Anthology: Knowledge, Power, Action provides students with a curated collection of articles that familiarize them with key concepts and perspectives related to the study of politics and political science.

The anthology is organized into 11 units. The opening units introduce students to the concept of politics and the discipline of political science; explore the interconnectedness of political philosophies, ideologies, and beliefs; and underscore the importance of political participation, active citizenship, and collective action. Additional units discuss civil rights, civil liberties, the relationship between media and politics, power dynamics within political systems, and the influence of money on power and politics. Students read about the effects of political institutions on policy outcomes in legal, economic, and social systems; the policymaking process and those who play roles in creating, developing, implementing, and enforcing public policy; international relations; and how to prepare to enter the globalized workforce. Questions for reflection, discussion, and research complement each reading to stimulate critical thought, support discussion, and increase retention of the material.

The Introduction to Politics Anthology is an ideal resource for foundational courses in politics and political science.
