SynopsisThis program provides a general, comparative introduction to the major concepts and themes of political science. The title of the book, Power & Choice, indicates a subsidiary theme that recurs at intervals. We may view politics as (1) the use of power or (2) the production of a public choice. Often one or the other is heavily emphasized in approaching the subject. Marxism emphasizes politics as the use of power, while pluralism and much formal modeling work emphasize the emergence of public choices., The fourteenth edition of power & Choice builds on the strong comparative, conceptual introduction to political science that established it as a student-focused introduction to political science. Power & Choice involves students in the dramatic and interesting variety of politics around the world. The new edition expands the conversation to include media and political socialization, as well as introduces contemporary examples including Egypt and the Arab spring. The theme of "power and choice," based on a definition of politics as the making of collective choices for a group or state through the use of power, runs through much of the text. The text is organized topically, rather than country-by-country, and provides in-depth examples at the conclusion of most chapters. Book jacket.
