Government, Law and Society
This document hopes to integrate political
contexts into common reading practices, to show the impact of politics on daily
life. With collections that don't compress issues into four-minute morality
plays (as the television news do at their most comprehensive), this
collection may enable readers to find connections with peoples around the world
who live under the global socioeconomic system which affects us all. This
hypertext is under development; if you have any problems (or comments or
criticism), send mail to <postmaster@eserver.org>.
Political Theory
Though primary documents of political work (laws,
decrees and court decisions) effect changes in social organization, they
are be difficult to read, seldom contextualize themselves by citing what
interests are served by their passage, and always act on behalf of a specific
theory of political relations. Political theory examines and shapes the
structures which govern. Here are some basic texts which view political
phenomena through theoretical language, to advocate particular beliefs about
social, economic, and political order.
