Simon and Joseph Romance balances classic political theory with contemporary politics to help students understand the fundamental questions of political science. The authors relate insights of classic political thinkers both to their modern counterparts and to the political dynamics of American, comparative, and international affairs. With its theme of politics as a scientific study, this book allows students to explore the impact of philosophy and ideology, to recognize major forms of government, to evaluate empirical findings, and to understand how policy issues directly affect people’s lives.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1071835394\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1071835394.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Simon, Douglas W.|Romance, Joseph\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy does have liquid damage.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56018321277233,"sku":"GBV.1071835394.A","price":44.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/1071835394-0.jpg?v=1788038502","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/the-challenge-of-politics-an-introduction-to-political-science","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
