Governing: An introduction to political science

This text provides a comprehensive introduction to political institutions, processes and issues. Historical, legal and psychological approaches are blended and the activities and processes of national government are related to the experiences of students. The book identifies the universal properties of the governing processes in all human societies, and explores the nature and consequences of variations in these processes among different nations. One of the new features of this edition is a discussion of the post-Cold War changes in world politics, and their likely future impact.
