A New Handbook of Political Science

The New Handbook of Political Science is the most comprehensive and well-done effort to describe the state of political science extant. It contains much which will be required reading. I strongly recommend it Seymour Martin Lipset The Handbook is a masterly and authoritative survey, comprehensive yet compact, by a stellar international cast of contributors ... a most worthy successor to the old Greenstein-Polsby Handbook, published two decades ago Arend Lijphart This is an extraordinarily useful mapping of what has happened in the discipline in the last twenty years, since the classic 1975 Handbook was published ... Scholars are well advised to read this new, single-volume Handbook in its entirety. For this volume is not only a collection of brilliant contributions, but also a much needed cross-fertilizing endeavour Giovanni Sartori
