- catalog abstract ""Introduction to Politics and Society comprehensively demonstrates how key theoretical and concepts in political science have foretold, rationalized and shaped politics in the contemporary world." "Students will discover the meaning of 'power', 'authority', 'coercion', 'surveillance' and 'legitimacy'. The ideas of Weber, Marx, Foucault, Bauman, Sennett, Habermas, Baudrillard and Giddens are explained with clarity and precision. Well-chosen examples, many from popular political culture illustrate the relevance of fundamental theoretical debates. This book also examines the central tendencies in the movement from modern to post-modern society; the significance, strengths and weaknesses of 'Third Way' politics; the decline of organized party politics; and the development of new social movements." "Developed with an understanding of the requirements of students and lecturers, this book is a resource for undergraduate teaching and study needs. It will be required reading for undergraduate students in sociology, politics and social policy."--Jacket.".
