Anarchism is by far the least broadly understood ideology and the
least studied academically. Though highly influential, both
historically and in terms of recent social movements, anarchism is
regularly dismissed. Anarchism: A Conceptual Approach is a welcome
addition to this growing field, which is widely debated but poorly
understood. Occupying a distinctive position in the study of
anarchist ideology, this volume - authored by a handpicked group of
established and rising scholars - investigates how anarchists often
seek to sharpen their message and struggle to determine what ideas
and actions are central to their identity. Moving beyond defining
anarchism as simply an ideology or political theory, this book
examines the meanings of its key concepts, which have been divided
into three categories: Core, Adjacent, and Peripheral concepts.
Each chapter focuses on one important concept, shows how anarchists
have understood the concept, and highlights its relationships to
other concepts. Although anarchism is often thought of as a
political topic, the interdisciplinary nature of Anarchism: A
Conceptual Approach makes it of interest to students and scholars
across the social sciences, liberal arts, and the humanities.

This book argues that anarchism should be considered the first
"postmodern" philosophical and political movement and offers a
revision of "classical anarchism." "Anarchism and Political
Modernity" looks at the place of "classical anarchism" in the
postmodern political discourse, claiming that anarchism presents a
vision of political postmodernity. The book seeks to foster a
better understanding of why and how anarchism is growing in the
present. To do so, it first looks at its origins and history,
offering a different view from the two traditions that characterize
modern political theory: socialism and liberalism. Such an
examination leads to a better understanding of how anarchism
connects with newer political trends and why it is a powerful force
in contemporary social and political movements. This new volume in
the "Contemporary Anarchist Studies" series offers a novel
philosophical engagement with anarchism and contests a number of
positions established in postanarchist theory. Its new approach
makes a valuable contribution to an established debate about
anarchism and political theory. It offers a new perspective on the
emerging area of anarchist studies that will be of interest to
students and theorists in political theory and anarchist studies.
"Contemporary Anarchist Studies" promotes the study of anarchism as
a framework for understanding and acting on the most pressing
problems of our times. The series publishes cutting edge,
socially-engaged scholarship from around the world - bridging
theory and practice, academic rigor and the insights of
'contemporary activism.'
