Offering a broad survey of the political ideologies that have shaped our world, the seventh edition of Andrew Heywood's seminal undergraduate textbook guides students through the political creeds and doctrines that have dominated politics past and present. The first half of the book focusses on traditional ideologies such as Conservatism, Socialism, Liberalism, Anarchism and Fascism, while more contemporary movements such as Populism, Feminism, Green Ideology, Multiculturalism and Religious Fundamentalism form the latter part of the text.

Recenzje

Every summer, I teach a course on politics and popular culture and assign Andrew Heywood's Political Ideologies. The book provides a clear introduction to the 'isms' that shape how most of us think about politics, including, in the new edition, populism. The book hits the sweet spot of being accessible to newcomers and illuminating for more advanced students. Nicholas Tampio, Fordham University, USA

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.
