Description

A Novel Approach to Politics turns conventional textbook wisdom on its head by the usage of pop culture references to illustrate key concepts and cover up to date political events. It is a textbook it would be best to read. Adopters of previous editions from schools all over the place the country are thanking creator Douglas A. Van Belle for some of their best student evaluations to date.

With this Fifth Edition, Douglas A. Van Belle brings the book fully up to the moment with up to date events such as Trump’s executive orders on immigration, the 2016 elections in the USA, current policy debates including recent court decisions that may impact gerrymandering, international happenings such as Brexit, and other assorted intergalactic matters. Van Belle adds a wealth of new and up to date movies and books to the text, as he illustrates key concepts in political science through examples that captivate you. Employing quite a lot of references from 1984 to Game of Thrones to House of Cards, students are given a solid foundation in institutions, ideology, and economics. To keep things grounded, the textbook nuts and bolts are still there to aid students, including chapter objectives, chapter summaries, bolded key terms, and discussion questions.
