during the past two decades, political science has become more interdisciplinary. there is now a well-established discipline of comparative politics that is continuously expanding and taking into account the implications of globalization. what makes the present book special is that it provides a bridge between these two emerging areas: international relations and comparative politics. with the help of the concepts and models developed by political scientists, the author lays out the evolution of this new discipline of international political theory. the book starts from a well-established set of concepts and develops through them to a new set of concepts. the new and original concepts can be used either in political science courses dealing with international relations or in courses dealing with comparative politics. the book uses a diverse set of examples taken from politics in the united states, europe, latin america, and asia. the book is intended as an introductory text for both students who are studying politics at the graduate level and for students who have no background in political science.

in popular culture, politics and political theory have often been portrayed as being confined to the realm of the political elite. this is especially true in the united states, where students usually take a course in political science and/or political philosophy only after they have studied a variety of other disciplines such as economics, sociology, history, law, and philosophy. thus, a common assumption is that political science is an academic discipline that deals with the study of politics. this text, however, makes it clear that it is a distinct discipline. it not only deals with politics, but it also deals with the changing nature of society, society itself being the object of study. it focuses on the political aspects of society. it is necessary to understand the institutions of society because they govern behavior and attitudes. it is necessary to understand society itself because it is the context of political activity. political science, therefore, is about the study of the political, of politics, and of the changing nature of society. because of this, the political sciences are not academic disciplines but are distinct disciplines, all of which study society. 84d34552a1
