As the title suggests i am looking for book recommendations for someone wanting to learn more in the field of political science.

Either something for a more general overview or on a specific topic would be appreciated.

      I did not enjoy “prisoners of geography”, the writing strike is quite flat, but the topic is definitely interesting. I’ll have a look at the other two!
