Introducing the major theories, issues and concepts in contemporary
political theory, this text is a comprehensive and engaging
introduction to the field. The book examines a range of topics to
explore questions such as: - What kinds of political community best
support democracy? - Do members of wealthy societies have duties to
eradicate global poverty? <- Who or what should be the authority
on human rights? Chapters are carefully organized to enhance
learning by first setting out rival perspectives on key political
issues which are then compared and analysed through a series of key
debates. Discussion boxes are used throughout the book to consider
the policy implications of different theoretical perspectives from
thinkers including John Rawls, Susan Okin, Isaiah Berlin, Jane
Mansbridge and Will Kymlicka. Offering an in-depth survey of the
landscape of contemporary political theory and written in an
engaging and lively style, this book will equip students with the
tools to think through the complex questions whose answers
determine our collective political lives.
