| dc.description.abstract | These two volumes of 21st Century Political Science:AReferenceHandbookweretheproduct of many discussions that we,the editors,have had over the years concerning how to make fairly complex approaches in political science accessible to advanced undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Here is very little in the way of reference works in political science that are sufficiently accessible that undergraduate students can profitably use them to assist the pursuit of their research interests.Inparticular,wehavesoughttoproduce a single work that would provide students with the essentials of various approaches (both the oretical and methodological) in political science.Needless to say,our focus on essentials has meant covering fairly broad areas in the discipline, rather than specific topics. Inourview,this broad focus would be most useful to undergraduate students. | en_US |
