'An impressive introductory text that powerfully demonstrates how political theory can be applied to a range of key contemporary political issues.' - John Dryzek, ANU 'A genuinely different sort of text that makes political theory engage with major questions of public policy. Clearly and concisely, and using a range of telling examples from around the world, Kathy Smits shows how key debates in political theory relate to the most urgent issues of our time.' - Peter Jones, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
