About the Book
This expanded and updated edition of Contemporary Political Ideologies offers an authoritative introduction to the subject. Written by a team of internationally recognized academics, the book presents a clear, accessible overview of political ideologies, avoiding the esoteric and jargon-ridden approaches often seen in the study of ideologies.

The opening chapter establishes the case for understanding political ideologies as coherent bodies of thought addressing key issues such as human nature and socio-economic organization. Following this, ten core chapters examine the major "isms" that have shaped the modern world, including Liberalism, Conservatism, Social Democracy, Marxism, Nationalism, Feminism, and more. These chapters discuss crucial questions such as:

  • Will liberalism, with its focus on freedom and markets, dominate the new millennium?

  • Has socialism lost its relevance, or is there a new "Third Way" emerging?

  • Can nationalism take intellectually defensible forms, or is it inherently dangerous?

  • Should radical ecologists’ call for global thinking and local action be heeded?

  • Is Islamic fundamentalism a dangerous creed or has it been misunderstood in the West?

The concluding chapter discusses the issue of whether we are witnessing the "end of ideology," and concludes that understanding political ideologies is more important than ever.
