Engaging Citizenship uses one key concept-citizenship-as a gateway to teach students about the subfields of political science. Students are introduced to the critical questions, concepts, and theories addressed by each subfield, framed through the lens of citizenship in a way that helps students build connections across all chapters. Covering all major subfields of Political Science, the book introduces students to the broad scope of the discipline and the different ways each subfield studies key questions of politics, democracy, and citizenship. In addition, the text emphasizes student-centered active learning pedagogy-civic engagement activities throughout the text allow students to cultivate the skills needed for democratic citizenship. Through this innovative approach, Engaging Citizenship conveys the importance and value of democratic engagement and highlights the relevance of politics to students' lives.

Reviews for Engaging Citizenship: An Introduction to Political Science

"I see this book being a primary text used for Introduction to Political Science courses. ... I think the competitive advantage is that the authors tried to ensure that each subfield in the discipline was adequately represented in the book. I really liked this, because often times authors focus on one or two subfields and ignore the rest."" - Henry Tecklenburg, Georgia Southern University It is comprehensive, clear, and uses engaging examples. ... Uses theme of citizenship to cover topics rather than standalone chapters on different subfields making it more engaging and interesting to other comparable books."" - Mary-Kate Lizotte, Augusta University"
