An Introduction to Political Sociology

1st Edition

Welcome

For undergraduate courses in political sociology.

Political Sociology:  An Introduction to Political Sociology dicusses how sociologists have organized the study of politics into conceptual frameworks, and how each of these frameworks foster a sociological perspective on power and politics in society.  This includes discussing how these frameworks can be applied to understanding current issues and other “real life” aspects of politics. The authors connect with students by engaging them in activities where they complete their own applications of theory, hypothesis testing, and forms of inquiry.
