Product Description
Concepts are the 'tools' with which we think, criticise, argue, explain and analyse. Political concepts are nothing less than the building-blocks of political understanding: the political world means what our concepts tell us it means. But political concepts are notoriously slippery and subject to controversy. Indeed, political debate is often a debate about the correct use of political terms. This book provides an accessible and comprehensive guide to the major concepts encountered in political analysis. Each is defined clearly and fully, and its significance for political argument and practice is explored. The introduction explains how political concepts are used and why they are so often abused. The book is arranged thematically, in an easy to use way, to be a vital companion for students throughout their course of study, and especially useful as a revision aid.

I bought this book when I was waiting for the funds to purchase Political Theory by the same author. I found that reading "Key Concepts" helped me understand a lot of the terminology in the bigger book.
I would recommend this book as a companion to anyone who is going to purchase Political Theory, it really helped me =)

I found this book very easy to read. It set out the basics in an easy to understand way going through and explaining many different concepts. I found this book soooooo useful for an essay I had to write on political concepts. You dont need to have lots of knowledge beforehand to read this book and I would say it was GCSE level and upwards to university level - it never hurts to start back at the basics and work your way up to more complicated matters. :)
