Politics sees the study of key political concepts and ideologies, the comparison of political systems, and the evaluation of factors that impact on the electoral performance of political parties. In the 21st century, the world we live in has never been more closely connected. Through the internet, 24-hour news channels and social media we are bombarded with information and opinions on all sorts of issues.

The SQA National Qualifications in Politics enables you to identify, explore and analyse political issues in order to develop your own views. It will help you develop analysing and evaluating skills which in turn, will help you to interpret and understand political issues. The BrightRED Study Guide for Higher Politics will go a long way to equip you with these skills.
