Thomas Magstadt fascinates students with his coverage of three fundamental premises‎:‎ politics is a pervasive force in modern society‎;‎ government is too important to be left in the hands of a few and‎,‎ in a democracy‎,‎ everyone has both the opportunity and the obligation to participate in public life‎.‎ The ninth edition focuses on such vital concepts as democracy‎,‎ dictatorship‎,‎ citizenship‎,‎ voting behavior‎,‎ elections‎,‎ leadership‎,‎ ideologies‎,‎ war‎,‎ revolution‎,‎ world politics‎,‎ and public policy fundamental concepts that provide students with a view of politics and economics that is at once lucid‎,‎ nuanced‎,‎ and empowering‎.‎
