<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Introducing the major theories, issues and concepts in contemporary political theory, this text is a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the field. The book examines a range of topics to explore questions such as: <br>- What kinds of political community best support democracy?<br>- Do members of wealthy societies have duties to eradicate global poverty?<br>Chapters are carefully organized to enhance learning by first setting out rival perspectives on key political issues which are then compared and analysed through a series of key debates. Discussion boxes are used throughout the book to consider the policy implications of different theoretical perspectives from thinkers including John Rawls, Susan Okin, Isaiah Berlin, Jane Mansbridge and Will Kymlicka. Offering an in-depth survey of the landscape of contemporary political theory and written in an engaging and lively style, this book will equip students with the tools to think through the complex questions whose answers determine our collective political lives.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Andrew Shorten is Lecturer in Political Theory at the University of Limerick, Ireland.<br>Andrew Shorten is Lecturer in Political Theory at the University of Limerick, Ireland.</p>
