Summary

Political Ideologies provides a wide-ranging introduction to both classical and contemporary political ideologies. Ideologies are presented as frameworks of interpretation and political commitment, encouraging readers to evaluate how ideologies work in practice, the problematic links between ideas and political action, and the impact of ideologies in the world. The text's pedagogical features encourage students to think critically, viewing different ideologies as competing and contestable ways of interpreting the political world.
