"This expanded and updated edition of Contemporary Political Ideologies, written by a team of internationally recognized academics, offers an authoritative introduction to the subject. "'Ideology ' is one of the most elusive words in the political dictionary. Eschewing the esoteric and jargon- ridden approaches which often characterize its study, the opening chapter argues the case for understanding political ideologies as relatively coherent bodies of thought relating to issues such as human nature (are we inherently good or evil?) and socio-economic organization (does the state enslave or protect us?). "Ten core chapters then define the great 'isms' which have played a major part in shaping the modern world. They look at questions such as: +Will liberalism, with its resonant rhetoric of freedom and markets, be the dominant creed of the new millennium? +Has socialism suffered from brain death, or is a new 'Third Way' (between communism and capitalism) emerging? +Is nationalism essentially a dangerous mythology, or can it take intellectually defensible forms? + 296 pp. Seller Inventory # 48279
