Politics is hugely complex. Some try to reduce its complexity by
examining it through an ideological worldview, a one-size-fits-all
prescriptive formula or a quantitative examination of as many
'facts' as possible. Yet politics cannot be adequately handled as
if it were made of cells and particles: ideological views are
oversimplifying and sometimes dangerous. Politics is not simply a
moral matter, nor political philosophy a subdivision of moral
philosophy. This book is devised as a basic conceptual lexicon for
all those who want to understand what politics is, how it works and
how it changes or fails to change. Key concepts such as power,
conflict, legitimacy and order are clearly defined and their
interplay in the state, interstate and global level explored.
Principles such as liberty, equality, justice and solidarity are
discussed in the context of the political choices confronting us.
This compact and systematic introduction to the categories needed
to grasp the fundamentals of politics will appeal to readers who
want to gain a firmer grasp on the workings of politics, as well as
to scholars and students of philosophy, political science and
history.
