Intended for students who need to get a fast grasp on a range of social and political issues, this introductory text is a comprehensive guide to politics in the contemporary world. The book draws on examples from popular political culture to convey how politics operates in the contemporary world.
Introduction to Politics and Society comprehensively demonstrates how key theoretical and concepts in political science have foretold, rationalized and shaped politics in the contemporary world.

Students will discover the meaning of `power′, `authority′, `coercion′, `surveillance′ and `legitimacy′. The ideas of Weber, Marx, Foucault, Bauman, Sennett, Habermas, Baudrillard and Giddens are explained with clarity and precision. Well-chosen examples, many from popular political culture illustrate the relevance of fundamental theoretical debates. This book also examines:

- The central tendencies in the movement from modern to post-modern society

- The significance, strengths and weaknesses of `Third Way′ politics

- The decline of organized party politics

- The development of new social movements

Developed with an understanding of the requirements of students and lecturers, this book is an extraordinary resource for undergraduate teaching and study needs. It will be required reading for undergraduate students in sociology, politics and social policy.
