Book Description
An Introduction To Government and Politics, Eighth Edition continues to build on its tremendous success by maintaining the hallmark features that have made this text a favourite amongst students and instructors through seven editions. Together with new co-author Brenda O'Neill, Mark Dickerson and Tom Flanagan have developed a comprehensive and accessible text with a historical and "Canadianist"-based approach that appeals to the traditional Introduction to Political Science course. Its many illustrative examples reflect today's political realities, and are set forth in a meaningful web of inferences and generalizations about the larger domain, ensuring better results than either an abstract discussion of general principles or an encyclopedic recitation of isolated facts.
