Politics: The Basics, 4th Edition

(Ann) #1
However, this is a set of recommendations that has not been fully
implemented. Students who wish to explore in-depth international
relations, public policy and administration, the politics of a particular
area (e.g. the South), or even the history of political thought, should
ensure that these options are available on the course they are
contemplating.

ASSOCIATIONS FOR POLITICS STUDENTS


Readers already enrolled on politics courses will find it helpful to join
an appropriate association. For sixth formers and undergraduates in
Britain, the Politics Association Resources Centre (Studio 16, I-Mex
Business Park, Hamilton Road, Manchester, M13 0PD) offers a
bargain rate subscription entitling them to a very useful journal
(Talking Politics) and access to various revision conferences and
learning resources. For postgraduate students, the Political Studies
Association of the UK, Department of Politics, University of
Newcastle, NE1 7RU, organises an excellent Annual Postgraduate
Conference and offers discounted membership, which includes four
journals and a newsletter. The addresses of corresponding groups in
other countries can be had from the International Political Science
Association Secretariat at SB-331, 1590 Avenue Docteur Penfield,
Montreal, Quebec, H3G 1C5, Canada (http:///www.ipsa-aisp.org).
