Book recommendations for someone interested in political sciences (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 year ago by golli@lemm.ee to c/nonfiction

As the title suggests i am looking for book recommendations for someone wanting to learn more in the field of political science.

Either something for a more general overview or on a specific topic would be appreciated.

I haven’t read much on this topic, but I really enjoyed “why we’re polarized”: a historical discussion on political division in the US, spanning the last 50 years and discussing its roots and growth.

I also enjoyed “the last empire” on the fall of the USSR and “the shock doctrine” that talks more about economy and the use of shocks to concentrate power in the hands of the few.

Similar to Klein’s Why We’re Polarized

Summary:

Title	Author	Summary
Political Tribes	Amy Chua	Examines the role of group identities in politics and their impact on both domestic and international affairs.
Tailspin	Steven Brill	Explores the challenges facing American society and offers solutions to address complex political and social issues.
