A 21st century approach to the study of politics Political science needs a resource that serves as a core reference to the central ideas, concepts, and frameworks underlying the study of politics and that highlights the intersections of politics with other disciplines. "The Encyclopedia of Political Science (TEPS)" is designed to fill that need. It is the encyclopedia for political science in the twenty-first century. Prepared with the assistance of the American Political Science Association (APSA), "TEPS" brings together a distinguished editorial board and over 600 distinguished and rising scholars to chronicle and assess the core issues that have long concerned students of politics.

Since emerging in the late nineteenth century, political science has undergone a radical shift–from constructing grand narratives of national political development to producing empirical studies of individual political phenomena.
