Each chapter is dedicated to a particular theory and features a case study that bridges theory and practice, and shows how theory can be used to explain real-world political dilemmas.
Spotlights on key books and articles encourage readers to go beyond the textbook and explore important works in the fi eld, and new case study questions encourage analytical thinking and help readers understand the value of applying theory to concrete political problems.
