Read an excerpt from the Introduction.
Contemporary Political Thought is a foundation textbook in
political thought. It brings together readings by leading exponents
of contemporary political theory with lucid, jargon-free
introductions, and is the first book in the area to combine these
pedagogical elements.
The book is divided into 12 sections: the twentieth to the
twenty-first centuries, interpreting political thought now and
then, liberalisms, conservatisms, marxisms, communitarianism,
feminism, ecologism and environmentalism, post-structuralism and
post-modernism, multi-culturalism, political thought beyond the
Western tradition, and democratic theory for a new century.
Each section contains several influential texts that provide
discussion of various key theoretical positions. The introductions
elucidate some of the main currents within the area of thought, and
the areas of most significant tension, give cross-references to
other theories, and contextualize the readings that follow. An
indispensable aid for students and professors alike, Contemporary
Political Thought is the perfect introduction to theoretical
approaches to politics.
