A New Handbook of Political Science

Available for the first time in paperback, the best-selling New Handbook of Political Science provides the definitive survey of new developments in the discipline. Forty-two of the world's most distinguished political scientists analyse progress over the past twenty years and assess this in the context of historical trends in the field. International in its scope, systematic in its coverage, A New Handbook of Political Science is the reference book for political scientists, and those tracking their work, into the next century.

This text is a survey of developments in politics compiled by 42 political scientists worldwide, analysing progress over the past 20 years and assessing this in the context of historical trends in the field.

This is an extraordinarily useful mapping of what has happened in the discipline in the last twenty years, since the classic 1975 Handbook was published ... Scholars are well advised to read this new, single-volume Handbook in its entirety. For this volume is not only a collection of brilliant contributions, but also a much needed cross-fertilizing endeavour
