Package Citizen Politics, 5th edition with Elections in West Europa! Specify ISBN 978-1-60426-957-4when ordering. Citizen Politics, 5th edition Now, more than ever, people drive the democratic process. What people think of their government and its leaders, how (or whether) they vote, and what they do or say about a host of political issues greatly affect the further strengthening or erosion of democracy and democratic ideals. With helpful restructuring, the new fifth edition of Citizen Politics is even more student-friendly while continuing to offer the only truly comparative study of political attitudes and behavior in the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. In addition to its comprehensive, thematic examination of political values, political activity, voting, and public images of government within a cross-national context, Citizen Politics now explores new forms of political activity, such as Internet-based activism, and new forms of political consumerism. All of the chapters have been updated with the latest research and empirical evidence, including new data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems project, the World Values Survey, the International Social Survey Program, and the British and German national election studies. Further, Dalton devotes more attention to current academic debates over the decline of participation, the erosion of political support, and the implications for democracy. New Data Supplement! Give your students a firsthand opportunity to understand the process of public opinion research. A data supplement from the International Social Survey Program, along with matching SPSS files, are available online at college.cqpress.com/dalton. Elections in West Europa This class-tested simulation brings the important lessons of comparative politics to life. Able to accommodate anywhere from 12 to 120 students and cover a few class periods or an entire semester, the simulation includes comprehensive instructions for each module; all of the background information and templates students need, and instructor materials to make the simulation as turnkey as possible. Students learn fundamental lessons of comparative politics. They work in groups to create party messages, develop “branding” strategies for their parties, film a campaign ad, participate in a public debate, and form a coalition government. Elections in West Europa: A CQ Press Simulation will: - bring elections to life in a fresh way;
- enhance critical thinking and analytical skills;
- encourage students to see the world from a new perspective;
- promote cooperative learning and problem-solving, and
- equip students with practical skills.
Instructor's resources include: - Grading schema;
- Templates for weekly student reporting;
- Examples for adding topical updates and crisis response components;
- Assessment tools for all assigned tasks;
- Video of the simulation in practice;
- Survey models for assessing group work, and more.
