Author: Thomas Magstadt

“Politics is a gateway to a broader and better understanding of human nature, society, and the world.” This idea has inspired each edition of UNDERSTANDING POLITICS: IDEAS, INSTITUTIONS, AND ISSUES. Thomas Magstadt’s book provides in-depth coverage of contemporary political issues and calls attention to the more enduring underlying questions. With its intense, engaging “politics are pertinent” theme, the 12th edition will fascinate you with its analysis of three fundamental premises: politics is a pervasive force in modern society; government is too important to be left in the hands of a few; and everyone has the opportunity to participate in public life in a democracy. This edition focuses on vital topics and concepts such as democracy, dictatorship, ideology, citizenship, voting behavior, elections, public policy, leadership, war, revolution, foreign policy, world politics, and international law.
