Globalizing the field of political theory is the obvious strength
of the volume. A thematic focus allows for a much greater dialogue,
comparison, and contrapuntal reading/engagement. Edited by
first-rate editors and features scholars working at the cutting
edge of non-Western political thought. There does not yet exist, as
far as we know, a textbook on either comparative political theory
or global political theory geared toward the undergraduate and for
use in political theory classes more generally. While there are
other political science and political theory textbooks that deal
with some individual topics covered by our textbook, there are none
that deal with these topics together in one textbook and with the
overall project of situating what are often treated as universal
and abstract terms in specific historical, geographical. discursive
and ideological contexts. The book is versatile since it can be
used It can both be used as the primary textbook for an
introductory class in political theory or as a supplement to a more
traditional political theory class that is structured around the
western canon. For those instructors who assign primary sources,
this book provides a deep engagement with and reference to primary
sources, block quotes and detailed textual exegesis, and summaries
of the primary sources themselves. In each chapter, the authors
will model close reading of the primary texts so students will
learn how to "do" the work of political theory and retain the focus
on source material that is so important to us as instructors and
scholars. Students will have access to a selection of primary
sources in political thought not available in English. Provides a
resource not just to students, but also to instructors wishing to
globalize their syllabi. Instructors across the field are looking
to broaden their syllabi and include a diversity of perspectives
and are often reluctant to do so because they lack expertise and
training outside of the traditional western perspective.
