Modern Political Ideologies

MODERN POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES

Modern Political Ideologies provides a broad overview of the origins, development, and core principles of the major political ideologies of the past two centuries. With an accessible, student-friendly format, this bestselling textbook helps students understand the values, beliefs, and social forces that shape today's political messaging, public discourse, and legislative agendas. Concise and approachable chapters describe ideologies such as liberalism, conservatism, socialism, fascism, fundamentalism, and nationalism.

Retaining the student-friendly format of previous editions, the fourth edition of Modern Political Ideologies is fully revised to reflect the social changes that inform today's political views. An entirely new chapter offers insights into the growth of populism and its effects on contemporary political dialogue, while expanded material addresses anarchism, feminism, neoliberalism, environmentalism and "green" ideologies, identity politics, and other topics of current relevance.

Containing a useful glossary of key terms and extensive end notes for each chapter, Modern Political Ideologies, Fourth Edition is the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate courses in political science, political ideology, political theory, comparative politics, and international relations. It is also an excellent supplement for courses in the social sciences and humanities that investigate the history of political ideas.
