It contains a total of 27 chapters covering almost all the topics considered essential for students of political science in the twenty-first century. It defines frequently used Islamic and Western terms that are important for political analysis and comprehension. Written in clear and concise language by two experienced lecturers, it features current topics such as political ideologies, revolution, civil society, terrorism, and the cause of war, but with the conscious aim of analysisng them in terms of emphirical evidence and logical argument. New topic on Environmentalism is added in it. Each concept is provided with several definitions from leading authorities, and an equivalent Islamic term or its alternative from an Islamic perspective. Examples are drawn largely from Canada, Malaysia, UK, and US. Additional examples are from Bangladesh, China, Japan, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. A list of suggested reading and relevant websites is found at the end of every chapter. Includes an extensive, alphabetically organised glossary at the end of it. It is designed as a course-book for undergraduates. It should be useful for students or political science at a higher level especially those who are trying to gain an overview of the disciplinary subject matter and to develop analytical and critical skills. 4aPolitical Science  a11555/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11554/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11555/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11554/MKRI-P/XII-2008
