Exploring Politics: A Concise Introduction addresses the challenges of teaching and learning introductory concepts in political science. Its concise, accessible writing style brings a no-frills approach to the curriculum, allowing instructors to pepper in activities, current events, and their own lectures where they want while leaning on the text for foundational material required in the course. The book is organized topically to reflect how politics spreads from the individual and group level, to the national, and eventually the international level, taking the emphasis off the typically American-focused course of yesterday and building up informed national and global citizens.
Gaspare M. Genna and Taeko Hiroi provide students with brief content modules broken up by critical thinking questions, class exercises, and activities, moving students beyond memorization and into the realm of application and discovery. This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package in
SAGE Vantage, an intuitive learning platform that instructors and students
actually love.
