Power & Choice offers an in-depth exploration of the complexities of politics by examining collective choices made by groups or states through the exercise of power. Organized thematically and featuring extensive case studies from diverse regions worldwide, Power & Choice serves as a comprehensive introduction to political science and comparative politics for undergraduate students.

The 16th Edition of this textbook has been revised to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the initial impacts of the Trump and Biden presidencies on the global landscape and democratic systems. It delves into the complexities emerging in countries like Hungary, where illiberal democracy and nationalism are on the rise. The authors have also included discussions on the aftermath of George Floyd's death and its implications for race relations in America, as well as the profound effects of growing inequality on political dynamics.

In addition to these updates, this edition expands its examination by exploring women's economic development and the growing significance of LGBTQ issues on a global scale. By providing a comprehensive and timely analysis, Power & Choice equips undergraduate students with a robust foundation in political science and comparative politics, enabling them to understand the complex dynamics shaping our world.
