    Editorial Reviews

    Review

    "The fact that this book enters its 11th edition says a lot. It’s well-done, well-written, and quite comprehensive. This edition adds new coverage of global populism, illiberal regimes, ISIS, new material on Xi Jinping’s thought, as well as more on free trade, the Alt-Right, transgender rights, the rights of Native Peoples, and so on." ― Ralph G. Carter, Professor of Political Science, Texas Christian University

    "Terence Ball, Richard Dagger and Daniel I. O’Neill offer a superb analysis of political ideologies with thoughtful and compelling contemporary examples. The text invites students into the contemporary debates about political ideologies, and provides an opportunity to critically examine and challenge their own political views and understandings. The authors' ability to balance the theoretical ideas with practical applications makes the eleventh edition even better than earlier versions of the text." ― Michael Cairo, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Transylvania University

    "It is a pleasure to see this classic volume admirably updated with perceptive new discussions of pressing topics such as populism, illiberal democracy, fascism, the alt-right, democratic socialism, the "Me-too" movement, to name but a few. These topics are engaged not simply as add-on novelties, but carefully interrogated in terms of the central concerns of the volume regarding ideology and the prospects for democratic life." ― Stephen K. White, James Hart Professor, Department of Politics, University of Virginia

    I was hoping this was required reading for my daughter in high school to be used as an example of what not to do politically. I was wrong. It was used for leftist indoctrination.Be aware of what they are teaching your kids. I'm ok with them getting all examples and learning to make good choices, not ok with forcing choices on them.

    Nice for beginners on politics

    I.W. · June 8, 2021

    Very comprehesive account of political ideas appearing in the course of human history and their development into influential ideologies which shaped and are shaping regional and global political movements.The latest edition attempts to give a brief account of Trumpism to populism, political spectrum from the far right to the far left.Good to be textbook for political science at undergraduate level.The quality justifies the price.
