Editorials

From the Publisher

β€œA captivating and authoritative book, Political Ideologieswill intrigue students about fundamental political ideas, both answering their questions and inciting further ones. Baradat is interested both in the reigning ideals of modern times and in how these are involved in the non-ideal realities of the world, giving us searching and even-handed examinations of the major political attitudes and thought systems of our time.”– Glenn Tinder, University of Massachusetts at Boston

Booknews

Summarizing the history and ideas of the major ideological currents in Europe and the U.S., Baradat (MiraCosta College) is clearly more sympathetic to left-wing thinkers than to conservatives, fascists, and other right-wingers. Separate chapters examine nationalism, the evolution of democratic theory, liberal democracy and capitalism, systems of liberal democratic government, anarchism, socialism in theory and practice, fascism and Nazism, ideologies in the third world, and feminism and environmentalism. Introductory chapters define ideology and outline the spectrum of political attitudes. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
