Description

This is Volume III of eighteen in collection on Political Sociology. Originally published in 1948, this is an empirical approach to the analysis of political behaviour. The present volume contains a selection of Prof. Lasswell's articles and papers on politics- the science and the art of management -written from the point of view of a man deeply[1]intent on making Democracy a working institution. It covers international political experiments and experiences of person-to-person relationships, morals, religion and quasi-religious movements; techniques of public opinion are scrutinized as well as the workings of the mind and the subconscious.

Description

Originally published between 1943 and 1969, titles in this set were written against a backdrop of rapid and radical political change. This set contains volumes by key political and sociological thinkers, including Bernard Crick. Covering topics as wide-ranging as European Federalism, Democracy and Dictatorship and Voting, these titles are as relevant today as when they were first published.
