People, Power & Politics is the book for the Year 11 Political Studies component of SOSE. Clearly written in language accessible to Year 11 students, it asks key questions such as: What is democracy and how effectively does it operate in practice? What are the characteristics of successful political leaders? What are the values that underpin different political systems? What is 'playing the political game'? How is this related to perceptions of success? What forms of political actions are available to young people? This book allows students to explore attitudes and beliefs, enabling them to form their own ideas about political issues. It is supported by up-to-date resources which explore important current issues. This helps to make People, Power & Politics a relevant and motivating text for students undertaking this exciting area of study and helps to prepare them for success in their VCE. - from Amzon
