Product Information
Reviews of previous edition: 'Here is a marvellous introductory tour through the territory of political theory ...Heywood has charted the area so clearly and matched his lucid thinking with such accessible prose that his guided tour is a tour de force, an ideal primer for new students of politics at both advanced and university level.' - Jessica Saraga, Times Educational Supplement 'Political Ideas and Concepts is a lucid and highly engaging introduction to political theory. Heywood covers a large range of ideas and issues and he is particularly good at taking a synoptic view of these and making them accessible for those coming to political theory for the first time. No matter how high the ideal or how abstract the concept, he never fails to make it intelligible and to illustrate its relevance for the real world of politics.' - Peter Jones, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne 'A brilliant text; superbly organised in terms of the complex subject matter, very perceptive and wonderfully clearly written. Quite the best book on political ideas available.' - Bill Jones The new second edition of Andrew Heywood's highly successful text - previously entitled Political Ideas and Concepts - has been revised and updated throughout with the addition of boxed exhibits on the main traditions of political thought added alongside improved versions of those on individual thinkers in the first edition.Product Identifiers
