A game-like opportunity to play the role of political actor

Decision-making Mini Simulations

The simulations within MyLab Political Science allow you to play the role of a political actor and apply political science concepts to make decisions — just as a political figure does. These simulations have been updated to provide a more game-like environment. We offer a simulation per chapter for all titles, and each can be completed in a week.

The Scholar Series

Authors and top scholars review the big ideas

The Scholar Series

These videos also feature scholars explaining the history, application, and ramification of these concepts in practice. By viewing discussions of these big ideas, you can learn how to start thinking like a political scientist.
