520 _aThe Seventh Edition of THE GREAT ISSUES OF POLITICS has been fully updated by incorporating a discussion of major events and trends of the last five years into the analysis of the five great issues. Leslie Lipson interprets politics as consisting of five basic issues which are universal and unchanging in that the same problems recur at all times and places where governments exist. The author shows that different types of government are the result of the various ways in which these issues are resolved through considering alternative solutions and choices. New sections in this edition include the conservative economic programs recently adopted in the United States and Britain; the promotion of Chernenko to be Number One in the U.S.S.R.; the rise and then repression of Poland's independent trade union, Solidarity; the revisions of Mao in China; race relations; and the problem of maintaining world peace as the arms race escalates.
