The Encyclopedia of Political Science (TEPS) offers access to more than 1,500 articles on concepts in political science in the early twenty-first century. Except traditional subjects, it also incorporates those fields that have emerged more recently, for example: race and ethnicity, gender studies, and political economy. It also provides biographical entries, background on countries, theorists, theories and images.

The ca 900 entries range in size from shorter definitions and biographies to extended treatments of major topics and traditions: key theories and methods from within the western canon and from non-western perspectives.

Covers a broad range of historical and modern topics to create an understanding of social and political developments and changes throughout much of human history, from the French revolution, to the global women’s movement, to Martin Luther King Jr. and the American civil rights movement, through to more recent issues including environmentalism and the Arab Spring.

Specific attention is paid to the study of urban areas (such as urban anthropology, urban economics, urban geography, urban politics, urban psychology, and urban sociology), to professional fields such as architecture and urban planning, and to other fields such as art, literature, and photography that are situated within the built environment.
References for further reading on each topic are provided.
