Synopsis

Issues in Political Theory provides a stimulating introduction to some of the key concepts, thinkers, and texts in political theory. Extended case studies at the end of each chapter show students how to examine a key political issue in light of the concepts explored in the chapter, while a range of additional learning features help students to check and develop their understanding, and approach learning materials beyond the text book. Clearly written chapters have been brought up to date with contemporary issues and literature, and the third edition introduces a new chapter on crime and punishment, and one on power, as well as a rewritten chapter on war and intervention. A number of engaging new cases are featured in the text to demonstrate how theory can be used to examine important political issues. The title is supported by an Online Resource Centre with additional case studies to build students' confidence in using theory to shed light on key issues, and a suite of class activities/exercises and essay questions to provide lecturers with additional teaching materials.

Media Reviews
This volume is an impressive contribution to the study, teaching, and practical application of political theory. The topics are central and important for all of us, and the detailed case studies will enable students to see political theories in action - and to use theories themselves * Debra Satz, Marta Sutton Weeks Professor of Ethics in Society, Professor of Philosophy and, by courtesy, Political Science Senior Associate Dean for the Humanities and Arts, Stanford University *
Issues in Political Theory provides a comprehensive introduction to the most important topics in contemporary political theory and explores debates at the cutting edge of the field. It provides an account of what is currency going on in the field by the people who are moving it forward. Students are very lucky to have this book. * Darrel Moellendorf, Professor of International Political Theoru and Professor of Philosophy, Goethe University-Frankfurt *
