Synopsis

Faced with two candidates: one advocates giving priority to economic development, and the other advocates giving priority to environmental protection. Who should you support with that vote in your hand? Facing a war: On one side is US President Bush, on the other is dictatorial leader Saddam Hussein; on the other side are American soldiers who have left their homes, and on the other are innocent Iraqi civilians who have been killed. How to judge the right and wrong among them? Faced with some debates: on one side is democracy, on the other side is dictatorship; on the other side is money politics, on the other side is the power of powerful men; on the other side is the disease of modern civilization, on the other side is primitive barbaric life... How should we analyze the good and bad among them? Face some entanglements: when ecological problems break through national boundaries, when strategic resources are declared exhausted, when NGOs accuse your motherland, when someone says that nation-state sovereignty is about to end... Will you be confused? Do you suspect that you have been misled? Do you hate being used? Do you want to say goodbye to your career as a political novice, fly away, and pursue the freedom of reason? "What is Politics?" By Cai Dongjie, professor of political science at National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan. " Is a book of political common sense prepared by a Chinese political scholar for ordinary Chinese readers. There are no difficult theories, no boring preaching, and no preset positions. It penetrates conceptual terms, escapes the disputes between "left and right", and restores the political world obscured by ideology. The whole book is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. The first part establishes the basic framework of the political world, allowing readers to master the most basic political common sense and understand the origin, evolution and rules of political games. The middle chapter leads readers to get involved in the most popular political topics at the moment, such as "democracy and dictatorship, where is the boundary between the rule of man and the rule of law", "leftists and rightists, what should they do when facing environmental challenges", "global and regional, and how human political boundaries will change", etc., Leading readers to take an interesting journey of speculation. The next article talks about real-world problems and challenges. The author hopes to "lead everyone into the world of politics easily and simply, and also hopes to teach you some political self-defense skills so that you will not be fooled by rhetoric."
