Known for its comparative approach and its strong balance between theory and practical real-world examples,Power and Choice continues as a best-seller,offering a brief but rich introduction to Political Science. Organized topically,this text maintains its use of extended examples of appropriate countries and its strong underlying theme: the contrasting purpose of political institutions as a means to acquire power versus its use as a means to exercise public choice. Power and Choice serves especially well where instructors wish to use a core text supplemented with additional readers,handouts,or other classroom materials.
