Introduction to Political Science

Political science is one of the youngest disciplines, yet it has already established a significant position within the humanities and social sciences. Political science deals with matters that affect the everyday lives of all people, since politics, the main subject of study in political science, touches most areas of citizens' everyday decision-making. Politics is not just about election campaigns, party competition, speeches in parliament or government meetings. Political activity shapes the overall rules of the organisation of society. The book Introduction to Political Science is intended not only for students of this discipline, for whom it will serve as a basic guide to insight into the study of their chosen field, but also for students of related social science disciplines. It can be used, for example, by students of sociology, law, economics, faculties of education or journalism. It will also serve readers from the general public interested in political science, politics and social events.
