The Irony of Teaching Political Science
Dye, Thomas R.; Zeigler, Harmon
Teaching Political Science, 4, 3, 253-6, Apr 77
Authors of "The Irony of Democracy" react to a critique of their book. The critique claims the college level political science text exposes the flaws of democracy, but fails to explain how the system can be reformed. The authors believe a textbook does not have to be a catalyst for change. (Author/RM)
