《包刚升政治学讲义》内容简介

　　很多人都觉得政治学很枯燥，很艰深，跟自己的日常生活关系不大，但是，包刚升老师试图通过这本书告诉我们，政治学是一种思维方式，遇到不能用经济学解释的现象，你其实可以从政治学的角度去解释。政治学是我们理解世界的一个重要窗口。

　　本书脱胎于得到课程《西方政治学通识30讲》，作者搭建了一个系统的政治学框架，从5大维度、30个关键词以及与之密切相关的政治问题，系统地讲解了政治现象背后的底层逻辑。

　　5大维度：权力如何管理社会、社会如何控制权力、制度设计的政治智慧、政治中的分歧与冲突、发展中国家的政治发展，全面解读各种政治现象。

　　30个关键词：国家、战争、君主制、官僚制、共和、议会、民主、自由、政党……30个关键词，也是看待政治的30个坐标。

　　读完这本书，你会理解人类历史上的很多政治现象。多一个看待世界的不同视角，比如：

　　为什么说民主制度起源于海盗？

　　为什么说战争塑造了国家？

　　为什么君主制延续了数千年？

　　为什么很多非洲国家建立了民主政体，却日益走向衰败？

　　为什么很多国家并不支持建设福利国家？

　　……

　　除了让你用政治学的眼睛理解世界，本书还能带给你更多的收获。

Introduction to Bao Gangsheng's Political Science Lecture Notes

Many people think that politics is boring and difficult and has little to do with their daily lives. However, Bao Gangsheng tries to tell us through this book that politics is a way of thinking. When you encounter a phenomenon that cannot be explained by economics, you can actually explain it from the perspective of politics. Politics is an important window into our understanding of the world.

This book is based on the obtained course "30 Lectures on Western Political Science". The author builds a systematic political science framework and systematically explains the underlying logic behind political phenomena from 5 major dimensions, 30 key words and closely related political issues.

Five dimensions: how power governs society, how society controls power, political wisdom in system design, differences and conflicts in politics, political development in developing countries, and a comprehensive interpretation of various political phenomena.

30 key words: State, war, monarchy, bureaucracy, Republic, Parliament, democracy, freedom, political party... The 30 key words are also the 30 coordinates for viewing politics.

After reading this book, you will understand many political phenomena in human history. Have a different perspective on the world, such as:

Why did democracy originate from pirates?

Why does war shape nations?

Why did monarchy last for thousands of years?

Why is it that many African countries that have established democracies are increasingly failing?

Why do many countries not support the welfare state?

...

There's more to this book than just making sense of the world through the eyes of political science.
