THE PURPOSE OF POLITICS. This is the first in a series of books on government and politics designed for students and the general reader (see 'other publications' for a full list of titles). All the books interlink and cross-reference but are designed to stand alone. This introductory text starts the series with a detailed examination of politics. It asks a number of important key questions such as what is politics and how can we define it? Who does politics and why and how? What are its uses and abuses? Throughout, emphasis is placed on politics as an attempt to influence authoritative decision-making in many settings employing a wide range of resources. The text opens with a clear statement of Aims and Learning Outcomes to give clarity and direction to your reading. The subsequent text is then divided into easy-to-read sections on:
Governments and states
Nation states and their citizens
Welfare capitalism
Political legitimacy and obligation
Doing politics
The status of politics
The book concludes with:
Politics: a summary
Review questions
References
Throughout, the material is carefully designed to equip the reader with a basic political vocabulary and an appreciation of the significance of politics as an important, pervasive and irreplaceable activity involving us all.
