Fifteen years in the making,Hyperpoliticsis an interactive dictionary offering a wholly original approach for understanding and working with the most central concepts in political science. Designed and authored by two of the discipline’s most distinguished scholars, its purpose is to provide its readers with fresh critical insights about what informs these political concepts, as well as a method by which readers—and especially students—can unpack and reconstruct them on their own.

International in scope,Hyperpoliticsdraws upon a global vocabulary in order to turn complex ideas into an innovative teaching aid. Its companion open access website (www.hyperpolitics.net) has already been widely acknowledged in the fields of education and political science and will continue to serve as a formidable hub for the book’s audience. Much more than a dictionary and enhanced by dynamic graphics,Hyperpoliticsintroduces an ingenious means of understanding complicated concepts that will be an invaluable tool for scholars and students alike.

The author of several books (www.maurocalise.it), he is also the president of the Italian Political Science Association and director of the IPSA Web Portal for Electronic Sources.Theodore J.
