Advances in Political Psychology
In volume 1 of the series, the focus is on political psychology as a perspective or way of exploring politics. The volume shows how political psychology provides a window on the world by exploring issues of identity, political participation and framing as well as showing how world leaders, institutions and governments do it politically. A myriad of methods are used in studying these topics ranging from surveys to experiments to case studies. Chapters focus on the US experience as well as that of a number of other countries. This Series is sponsored by the International Society of Political Psychology.
