Analyzing Politics: An Introduction to Political Science

by Ellen Grigsby

A brief, accessible, but fairly sophisticated overview of political science that encourages critical, independent thinking, ANALYZING POLITICS, Fourth Edition, presents a clear outline of the discipline of political science. This text is notable for its early coverage of methods and theory and the use of a case study approach--introduced and used to acquire in-depth information about a particular subject while also pointing to its limitations. While the text covers fundamental concepts with contemporary, political examples, discussions of feminism and environmentalism offer a distinct departure from other texts and a unique opportunity to you as a political science student.

Grigsby seems to have written this book with the beginning reader of political literature in mind. It is a bit over simplified, but I suppose there has to be a place to start. If you're just getting your toe into politics, this is probably a good book to start with.

If you're looking to obtain a base-level knowledge of political theory, comparative politics, international relations or domestic affairs, this book is for you. Grigsby's diction provides for an easy read that still skillfully covers a wide range of subjects.

Good introductory book on the subject. Brief but Good! I wish the author had delved a bit more deeper though. Nevertheless this is a good starting point for students of this subject.
