Political Theory in Transition

During the past two decades dissatisfaction with established political categories

has been increasing, on the grounds that they no longer fit many of the facts of

contemporary life, or adequately express many contemporary political ideals.

Political Theory in Transition explores the principal reasons behind this

dissatisfaction and outlines some of the most influential responses to it.

Key features of this textbook:

• it covers many of the important areas in political theory, including

communitarianism, identity, feminism, liberalism, citizenship, democracy,

power, authority, legitimacy, nationalism, globalization, and the

environment;

• it includes chapters written by some of the foremost authorities in the field of

political theory;

• it is divided into four useful sections, beginning with the concept of the

individual, and progressing to beyond the nation state in the third part. A

concluding fourth part examines the nature and scope of political theory

itself.

This text will be essential reading for those undergraduates and postgraduates

who want to make sense of the state of contemporary political theory and

political philosophy.

Noël O’Sullivan is Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Hull.
