General Political Science
Description
Book Introduction
This book is expected to be of great help to all readers interested in politics, and especially to students preparing for various exams, in establishing their own logic and organizing their thoughts.
The major lecture topics are divided into 10 and detailed topics are covered. These are organized into an index, and all referenced books are listed in the bibliography at the end, so that it can be used as a dictionary for political science.
I dare to expect that if you read this book through, you will achieve remarkable intellectual growth in political science.
In the 7th edition, while maintaining the general narrative level, we added content on various cautions and arguments to address readers' questions at the specific level as much as possible.
In addition, the main background, history, and circumstances related to major political events included in the existing content were explained in more detail.
