From the first chapter, I understood. This is typically the kind of books I was reading at the last minute (telling me that here might still help, it would still this plus) before an oral contest or a significant event in general knowledge (science size in). Indeed, including Sciences Po, one needs to make essays with 2 parts and 2 sub-parts, exposing different views (without being necessarily antithetical). And for this ... we need arguments. And sometimes dry (when we have matter, but lack of time and / or stress).
Thanks to this little reminder, there are simple ideas to defend a point of view on a lot of different subjects, which may well go down the oral.C'est absolutely useless as such, but it allows refresh the mind and give a boost to organize their essay or oral presentation. Moreover, not surprisingly, the themes are all oriented sciences po contest (or optional Sciences Po business schools for parallel admissions): the state has more relevance at international level, globalization requires all, military power is no longer useful, etc.All a bunch of themes perfectly calibrated for this type of test.
If you are not a candidate to contest the IEP / po science nor a student in this school, I doubt the usefulness of this work ...
