Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal Upplaga 4

Providing a clear, concise, and comprehensive introduction to the ideas and ideals that shake and shape our political world, the Fourth Edition of this best-seller has been extensively revised and updated. Written in the firm belief that ideology is "the driving force of nation-states, history, and politics," this innovative and clearly written text covers the gamut of contemporary political ideologies, from the standard categories of liberalism-conservatism-socialism to newly emerging ideological alternatives. The new edition features an expanded discussion of native people's liberation movements and a greatly expanded chapter on "green" politics. A companion volume of readings from primary sources, IDEALS AND IDEOLOGIES: A READER, has also been revised to reflect changes in modern political movements and their animating ideologies (Give Value Pack ISBN 0-201-75352-9 to your bookstore to order the text & reader package).
