Political Theory: An Introduction / HEYWOOD

"A brilliant text; superbly organized in terms of the complex subject matter, very perceptive and wonderfully clearly written. Quite the best book on political ideas available." - Bill Jones 'Political Theory is a lucid and highly engaging introduction to political theory. Heywood covers a large range of ideas and issues and he is particularly good at taking a synoptic view of these and making them accessible for those coming to political theory for the first time. No matter how high the ideal or how abstract the concept, he never fails to make it intelligible and to illustrate its relevance for the real world of politics." - Peter Jones, University of Newcastle "Here is a marvellous introductory tour through the territory of political theory... Heywood has charted the area so clearly and matched his lucid thinking with such accessible prose that his guided tour is a tour de force, an ideal primer for new students of politics at both advanced and university level." - Jessica Sarago, Times Educational Supplement This is a fascinating and highly informative text which is clearly organized and written with wonderful clarity. Heywood conveys not only his undoubted expertise but also his enthusiasm for the subject... at 400 pages, it represents excellent value for money" - Peter Dorey, Talking Politics This fully revised and updated fourth edition of a highly successful text in its field on how these have been used by different thinkers and schools of thought. The book systematically builds understanding of both classical and contemporary theory by reviewing a wide range of major thinkers, from Aristotle, Rousseau, Marx and Mill to the present day. This edition has increased coverage of the global dimensions of political thought-including a new chapter on international issues such as security and war- and of non western approaches to political debates and controversies.
