Concepts have a particular importance for students of politics and
international relations. Political argument often boils down to a
struggle over the legitimate meaning of terms and enemies may
argue, fight and even go to war, each claiming to be 'defending
freedom', 'upholding democracy' or 'supporting justice'. The
problem is that words such as 'freedom', 'democracy' and 'justice'
have different meanings to different people, so that the concepts
themselves come to seem problematic. This book provides an
accessible and comprehensive guide to the major concepts
encountered in political analysis. Each term is defined clearly and
fully, and its significance for political argument and practice is
explored. The text has been updated and expanded to take account of
the increasing influence of globalization on politics and now
features 70 additional concepts. Renowned for its lively, engaging
style and user-friendly approach, the second edition is an
invaluable companion to the study of politics and international
relations.
