This textbook organizes and explains politics, focusing on three elements: "the individual," "common goals," and "agents," using contemporary Japan as a case study. From the perspective of citizens (the individuals) hiring the government (the agent) to achieve their own interests (common goals), it systematically explains political issues, political theory, governance mechanisms, administrative science, local autonomy, international politics, and what supports democracy. It places the knowledge, ways of thinking, and subjects of various fields of political science within the context of political science as a whole. Facts and data have been updated and revised.
