This textbook, specially designed for the first-year undergraduate Government course at the University of Manchester, brings together some of the key writings and writers in contemporary political science. The 40 articles and extracts in the book are arranged in four parts. The first covers theories of politics and the meanings of government, state and democracy; Parts 2 and 3 explore the workings of two western polities, those of Britain and the United States; and Part 4 assesses the central political narrative of the 20th century - the creation, growth, stagnation and collapse of the Soviet Union.
