Political Theory: An Introduction

Heywood (government and politics, Croydon College) offers an accessible introduction to political theory and the key concepts of political analysis. In each chapter, he discusses a cluster of interrelated terms, examining how they have been used by different thinkers and schools of thought. The book is designed to build understanding of both classical theories and also of contemporary debates and controversies. This third edition adds extended coverage of issues such as identity and difference, multiculturalism, globalization, and utopianism. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
