Colin Farrelly has gathered together in one volume several of the
key texts that have shaped recent developments in political theory.
The structure of the book reflects that of many courses offering
surveys of recent debates between liberals and their critics. It is
an excellent teaching resource' -
Shane O'Neill, Queen's University, Belfast
An excellent selection of key pieces that have shaped the
debates that dominate contemporary political philosophy. Each
section is prefaced with a clear and insightful introduction which
gives a valuable commentary on each piece, sets it in its context,
and indicates its influence on the field. This book will be a very
useful resource for students of these debates from all backgrounds'

Contemporary Political Theory provides an accessible
introduction to the key works of major contemporary political
theorists. Key theorists and writers include John Rawls, Robert
Nozick, Michael Walzer, Michael Sandel, Susan Okin, Will Kymlicka,
Iris Marion Young, Charles Taylor, Nancy Fraser and John
Dryzek.
The readings are organized thematically into seven sections on
egalitarian-liberalism, libertarianism, communitarianism,
republicanism, feminism, deliberative democracy, and
multiculturalism. A substantial introduction is provided to each to
identify the main issues and the significance of the carefully
selected excerpts that follow.
The result is a complete but concise guide through the
literature and major topics and areas of debate in contemporary
political theory and political philosophy.
