21st Century Political Science: A Reference Handbook

Via 100 entries or 'mini-chapters', the SAGE 21st Century Reference Series volumes on political science highlight the most important topics, issues, questions and debates any student obtaining a degree in this field need to master for effectiveness in the 21st century. The set provides undergraduate students with an authoritative reference source that will serve their research needs with more detailed information than encyclopedia entries but not so much jargon, detail or density as a journal article or a research handbook chapter.

Topics covered include:
theory and methdology
basic institutions of government
political ideologies and cultures
public opinion
political parties and elections
political communication
political economy
international relations and institutions.
