Summary, etc. This book is intended to introduce the reader to the<br/>dy of politics. No book, however, can cover the whole<br/>field of study and selection is necessary. What is selected<br/>depends on the preferences or the interest of the author<br/>and the needs of those to whom the work is directed.<br/>Here the emphasis is on politics as a study in which<br/>the work particularly of sociologists and psychologists<br/>is increasingly relevant. It is not a book on politics by<br/>a sociologist or a psychologist but one written by (to<br/>coin a word) a 'politicologist'. As a consequence there<br/>is a mixture of the old and the new. It therefore reflects<br/>the transfer of interest of many teachers of politics away<br/>from politics as the description and evaluation of legal<br/>(as opposed to private) governments, and their policies<br/>towards politics as the study of the behaviour of those<br/>men and groups (whoever and wherever they may be)<br/>who participate in the making and the execution of<br/>public policy. This difference of emphasis (for it is that,<br/>and not a revolution in the study as some of the pro-<br/>tagonists claim) makes the subject matter of interest to<br/>students of many 'disciplines'. With all its limitations, it<br/>is offered to students in the hope that they will be<br/>encouraged to take a wider view and to others as an<br/>indication of how contributions from their disciplines are<br/>valued by those of us who, as the phrase goes, teach<br/>politics'.<br/>Like all human groups teachers of politics include pessi-<br/>mists and optimists, those overconfident of what cannot be<br/>done and others overconfident of what can be achieved.<br/>Both groups (and the realists if such there be) agree that the<br/>Subject has rarely, if ever, been so stimulating -traditional<br/>barriers between disciplines are dissolving and 'the winds of<br/>change' are upon us. What better time than this for the<br/>reader to join in the enquiry which engages the minds of<br/>those who study politics.
