前言
THiS book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to thestudy of politics. It is designed to be of use to students taking courses in anyfield of the discipline, as well as general readers with an interest in the subject.Politics stubbornly (and splendidly) refuses to stand still. The idea thathistory is 'speeding up' was not just a symptom of fin de siele anxiety; in asense, history is speeding up. For instance, the final decades of the twentiethcentury saw the end of the Cold War, the emergence of a global economy, atechnological revolution in production and communications and the rise ofpolitical Islam. Indeed, we appear to be living in a kind of 'post-world'; ideassuch as postmodernism, postmaterialism, post-Fordism, post-socialism andpostindustrialism vie with one another to demonstrate how much and whichbits of the familiar world have now disappeared. And yet not all is flux andconfusion. The pace of change may have increased, but certain aspects of soc-ial existence and important features of the political landscape have proved tobe remarkably resilient to change. Therefore, while this book gives full weightto modern developments such as globalization, the growth of feminism andgreen politics, the upsurge of ethnic nationalism and the emergence of newsocial movements, conventional approaches to the discipline are not neglected,and the contribution of classical thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Marx andMill is not ignored.

章节摘录
插图:'Politics is not a science ... but an art', Chancellor Bismarck is reputed to have told the German Reichstag. The art Bismarck had in mind was the art of government, the exercise of control within society through the making and enforcement of collective decisions. This is perhaps the classical definition of politics, developed from the original meaning of the term in Ancient Greece.The word 'politics' is derived from polls, meaning literally city-state. Ancient Greek society was divided into a collection of independent city-states, each of which possessed its own system of government. The largest and most influential of these city-states was Athens, often portrayed as the cradle of democratic government. In this light, politics can be understood to refer to the affairs of the polis - in effect, 'what concerns the polis'. The modern form of this definition is therefore 'what concerns the state'. This view of politics is clearly evident in the everyday use of the term: people are said to be 'in politics' when they hold public office, or to be 'entering politics' when they seek to do so. It is also a definition that academic political science has helped to perpetuate.In many ways, the notion that politics amounts to 'what concerns the state' is the traditional view of the discipline, reflected in the tendency for academic study to focus upon the personnel and machinery of government. To study politics is in essence to study government, or, more broadly, to study the exercise of authority. This view is advanced in the writings of the infuential US political scientist David Easton (1979, 1981), who defined politics as the 'authoritative allocation of values'. By this he meant that politics encompasses the various processes through which government responds to pressures from the larger society, in particular by allocating benefits, rewards or penalties. 'Authoritative values' are therefore ones that are widely accepted in society, and are considered binding by the mass of citizens. In this view, politics is associated with 'policy': that is, with formal or authoritative decisions that establish a plan of action for the community.
