520 _a"Political Science Today by Wendy Whitman Cobb gives students a holistic view of the subfields that make up political science by dedicating one chapter to each of the topics at the core of the discipline. Unlike denser texts on the market, Political Science Today uses a field-based approach that allows students to engage with the material directly and dig into each of the discipline's tracks while also developing critical thinking skills, discerning the differences between politics and political science, conducting and consuming research, and broadening their future career aspirations. The book's innovative table of contents begins with foundational tools like theories and research methods, then builds up to subfield chapters on Comparative Politics, International Relations, American Government, Political Economy, and Public Policy and Administration. The Second Edition has been updated to include a new chapter on Social Movements and events like Black Lives Matter, the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict in the American political system and the January 6th insurrection, while highlighting these changes, also draws student attention to the many ways in which politics and political science impact their everyday lives"--
