Grasp the ever-changing nature of politics around the world
Understanding the Political World gives students deeper insight into the continually evolving nature of international politics. Exploring the subject matter from a comprehensive and comparative standpoint, authors James Danziger and Lindsey Lupo use real examples from different international political systems to demonstrate how politics are understood throughout the world. By prompting students to explain what they know, the authors bring abstract political concepts into focus by connecting them to students’ lives. In order to provide a contemporary view of global politics, the 13th Edition has been updated with the latest data and information, as well as a reformulated final chapter that analyzes partially developed countries such as Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.
