Providing the general reader and the student with an introduction to the central issues of political science, A Very Short Introduction to Politics shows how political trends and maneuvers develop and how they help shape our society.

Readable and pithy, this entertaining introduction is perfect for anyone looking for an accessible overview of the subject.
