Review
Review from previous edition: "This is by far the best available anthology on political ideologies. It should be required reading for all courses on the topic."
Professor Michael Freeden, University of Oxford
"This is simply the best single reader on political ideologies. The texts are judiciously chosen, they cover all the relevant issues, and allow students to examine not just the historical origins of different ideologies, but their contemporary transformations as well."
Professor Pratap Mehta, Harvard University
"The combination of lucid commentary and carefully selected extracts from primary sources makes this book an indispensable resource for students studying political ideologies."
Dr Steve Buckler, University of Birmingham
