Power & Choice: An Introduction to Poltical Science - Tapa blanda

The extensively revised eleventh edition of W. Phillips Shively’s Power & Choice: An Introduction to Political Science maintains the author’s goal since the text’s inception: to provide a general, comparative introduction to the major concepts and themes of political science by engaging students with concrete examples of analysis without overwhelming them with excessive detail.

W. PHILLIPS SHIVELY is Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota, where he moved in 1971 after teaching at the University of Oregon and Yale University. He has also served as Visiting Professor at the University of Oslo in Norway. His research, which has appeared in numerous articles, deals with the comparative study of elections, and he has written The Craft of Political Research, an introduction to research techniques. He has also had practical political experience as a lobbyist in Minnesota. His true love is bird-watching.
