A Critical View of International Political Systems

Countries and Concepts: Politics, Geography, Cultureis a critical examination of comparative politics and political systems.

Understanding politics as a series of ongoing quarrels for which no good solution has been found, the material views international political systems through a dubious lens. This undeniably real examination of our political world makesCountries and Concepts the most accurate examination of politics’ true nature.
