Document Summary

You have probably read critical review articles in newspapers or even heard critics on tv review books, films, or plays. A critical review paper in political science is similar to these more popular forms in that it presents a critical analysis of a work based on knowledge of the field. To write a good critical review of a book or journal article, you need in-depth knowledge of the subject area. Critical reviews begin with a citation of the author and work before the first paragraph. This information allows the reader to quickly identify the author and book or journal. For example, if you are writing a review of robert kaplan"s book. Warrior politics, you must put the bibliographic information at the top of the page: Warrior politics: why leadership demands a pagan ethos. The first paragraph should contain more information about the author and the work, written in a hook format to get the reader"s interest.
