Heywood, Andrew

Political theory: an introduction - Hampshire Palgrave Macmillan 2004 - 416p.

The new third edition of this highly successful text has been revised and updated throughout with additional boxed exhibits and extended coverage of issues such as identity and difference, multiculturalism, globalization, governance and utopianism.
Written in a lively and engaging style it provides a clear and highly accessible introduction to political theory and the key concepts in political analysis. Each chapter discusses a cluster of interrelated terms, examining how they have been used by different thinkers and schools of thought. The book is designed systematically to build understanding both of classical theories and also of contemporary debates and controversies. In the process it reviews the contribution of a very wide range of major thinkers from the times of Aristotle, Rousseau, Marx and Mill to the present day.
