Political Ideologies: An Introduction

Description:

About this item:

Offering an unparalleled, sweeping survey of the political ideologies that have shaped our world, the seventh edition of Andrew Heywood’s seminal undergraduate textbook continues to lead the way in guiding students through the political creeds and doctrines that have dominated politics past and present. Covering an impressive array of topics, the first half of the book focusses on traditional ideologies such as Conservatism, Socialism, Liberalism, Anarchism and Fascism, while more contemporary movements such as Populism, Feminism, Green Ideology, Multiculturalism and Religious Fundamentalism form the latter part of the text. Taking into account the remarkable events that have shaken the political sphere in recent years, the text has been revised and updated throughout in order to show how the study of political ideologies can elucidate the significance of such striking phenomena as the decline of liberal democracy and the rise of populist movements and authoritarianism around the world.



The most accessible, concise and yet comprehensive introduction to the topic, this is an indispensable textbook for students studying for courses on political ideologies, political theory and introductory politics. It should be essential reading for anyone seeking to gain an understanding of political ideologies for the first time.

- A brand new chapter on Populism addressing the rise of populist movements across the world and the related decline of liberal democratic values

- More on sexualities, queer politics and trans issues in the chapter on Feminism; and a wider range of religions considered in the chapter on Religious Fundamentalism

Review

Every summer, I teach a course on politics and popular culture and assign Andrew Heywood's Political Ideologies. The book provides a clear introduction to the 'isms' that shape how most of us think about politics, including, in the new edition, populism. The book hits the sweet spot of being accessible to newcomers and illuminating for more advanced students. --Nicholas Tampio, Fordham University, USA

This brand-new edition of Andrew Heywood’s Political Ideologies reflects the challenges and developments of our times: it includes a chapter on Populism, a Feminism chapter comprising intersectionality, trans theory and queer theory, an in-depth analysis of postcolonialism, case studies on contemporary issues and a discussion about the future prospects of each ideology. An indispensable tool for learning and teaching. --Andrea Schapper, University of Stirling, UK

A rare book which helps teachers not only inform but also inspire students to discover their place among competing ideologies. Heywood’s orderly presentation provides readers with excellent access to a wide range of ideological identities. --John Uhr, Australian National University, Australia

disappointed heywood

Ideology is the core of politics

N.B.T.J. · 14 August 2023

The various ideologies, such as liberalism, conservativism, socialism and fascism explain how people react to government and society at large. It was eye opening to me to see how these ideologies evolved and where we stand today. They also explain why wars start and help you be able to predict what will happen, based on past history. Great book in the series by Andrew Heywood!

excellent reference
