I would like to understand non-marxist political science better in order to better engage with it. Any reading suggestions? (lemmygrad.ml)

I often find non-marxist political science frustrating in ways I can't describe. It always seems focuses on the wrong things yet I don't have the foundation to even begin to critique it.

As an absolute ground floor starting point, I’d suggest getting some 101 level textbooks of any non-explicitly Marxist intro political science course taught in a US university. That will introduce you to general topics and the unique language used in the field; you can read on specifics from there using other textbooks or sources given in the 101 books.
