The text covers the core concepts of political science, incorporating post-modern ideas and critiques throughout. One of the key strengths of Critical An Introduction to Politics  is its integration of multiculturalism, feminism, ecology, and other progressive perspectives. Critical Concepts is a contributed volume and draws on the expertise of many respected Canadian political scientists. The purpose of the text remains the same as the first to introduce students to the fundamentals of political science, to engage them with debates, and explore the conceptual shifts and uncertainties brought on by increasing globalization.
