Andrew Heywood is author of such best-selling textbooks as Politics, Political Ideologies and Global Politics, used by hundreds of thousands of students around the world. Andrew was vice principal of Croydon College, having previously been director of studies at Orpington College and head of politics at Farnborough Sixth-Form College.
Offering an unparalleled survey of the political ideologies that have shaped our world, the seventh edition of Andrew Heywood’s seminal undergraduate textbook continues to lead the way in guiding us through the creeds and doctrines that have dominated politics past and present. First covering traditional ideologies such as Conservatism, Socialism, Liberalism, Anarchism and Fascism, it then moves onto exploring more contemporary movements including Populism, Feminism, Green Ideology, Multiculturalism and Religious Fundamentalism. Taking into account the remarkable events that have shaken the political sphere in recent years, the text has been updated throughout to show how the study of political ideologies can help make sense of developments like the decline of liberal democracy and the rise of populist movements around the world.
The most accessible yet comprehensive introduction to the topic, this is an indispensable textbook for anyone seeking to gain a foundational understanding of political ideologies. A companion website comprising a test bank, flashcard glossary and additional 'Political Ideologies in Action' cases will further support and develop your understanding.
