Introduction to Political Theory
Autor Paul Graham, John Hoffmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2022
Bringing together classic and contemporary political concepts and ideologies into one book, it introduces the major approaches to political issues that have shaped our world, and the ideas that form the currency of political debate. Consistently, it relates political ideas to political realities through effective use of examples and case studies making theory lively, contentious, and relevant.
With significant revisions which reflect the latest questions facing political theory in an increasingly international context, key features and updates include:
- Two brand new chapters on Migration and Freedom of Speech and a significant new section on the radical right;
- Thought-provoking case studies to bring the theory to life including social media and internet regulation, Brexit and the EU, anti-vaxxer campaigns, surrogacy tourism, and autonomous anarchist zones;
- A revamped website, including podcasts, to aid study of, and reading around, the subject.

Recenzii
"This fourth edition is an exceptionally well written introduction to political theory, with the focus on principal concepts and excellent case studies. This book is a marvelous contribution to the field of Political Science. Yet above all, the book offers an outstanding basis of knowledge and motivation for university students learning about political theory."
Katarzyna Stokłosa, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
"Hoffman and Graham’s textbook is a success at many levels. It is admirably comprehensive, is not afraid of courting controversy (particularly in its refreshing scepticism about the state) and demonstrates how central normative theory is to a study of politics. Above all, perhaps, it manages, with the help of very useful case studies, to pull off the difficult task of making complex ideas eminently accessible. I highly recommend the book as an ideal introduction to the study of political theory."
