Organized evenly around the major divisions within "Political Science: Theory, American Government, Comparative Politics, and International Relations", "Why Politics Matters" follows a foundational approach to learning and gives students a "big picture" of the field. The authors approach the subject through a theme of theory and practice and emphasize why politics matters to the reader through current, global examples, encouraging critical thinking, discussion, and participation throughout the text.
