Political Ideology in the Modern World

This idea-centred text aims to remain faithful to the real dynamism of contemporary ideological debate. It attempts to draw the reader into the spirited give-and-take that ideological debate ignites. To heighten the sense of personal challenge, ideological positions are presented as if they were being argued by a skilful advocate. The atmosphere of ideological debate is captured by closing the presentations of each ideological position with a series of penetrating critiques and counter-arguments such as those levelled by a sophisticated antagonist. It is designed for courses in political ideologies, introduction to politics, modern or contemporary thought, and modern political philosophy.
