内容説明

Most debate about politics - whether it takes place in the media, the workplace, pubs or parliament - revolves around three themes: power, political values and public policy. However, many people debating politics do not know enough about how the political system works to argue their case convincingly. "Politics in Australia" provides the tools both students and citizens need to understand the dynamics of political life in Australia today. Written by university teachers conducting introductory politics courses, this text has been fully updated. It includes new chapters on the nature of politics by Helen Pringle, the constitution by Elaine Thompson, and gender and patriarchy by Vanessa Farrer.
