Despite its recognized significance in social life, leadership is a
notoriously elusive subject that generates a host of different
points of explanatory focus. This is particularly so in the field
of political leadership, which has been afflicted by an enduring
split between the biographical idiosyncrasies of individual leaders
and the specialist contributions from an array of social science
disciplines. This new study is designed to establish an improved
balance between this often myopic and confusing bifurcation of
approaches. It engages with an expansive range of empirical,
theoretical, and interpretive research into the issue of leadership
but does so in a way that ensures that the political character of
the subject is kept securely in the foreground. The project is
therefore designed to maintain a clear emphasis upon leaders
embedded in their political contexts and viscerally connected to
high level issues of political location and status, political power
and legitimacy, and political functions and contingencies. The book
has a cumulative design that moves from an in-depth analysis of the
basic components of political leadership to an examination of a
series of key dimensions relating to leadership activity and
development-namely the themes of representation, communication,
marketing, business practice, and the issue of women leaders. It
goes on to survey the developmental properties of the international
sphere before concluding with a substantive review of the changing
landscapes of contemporary leadership activity and the different
ways that we come to terms with the theme of political leadership
in an increasingly complex world.
