"The study of political ideologies helps students understand the values, beliefs, and social forces that shaped the political messaging they hear around them everyday. Many students struggle to understand where their own beliefs fit into political ideology systems and why others hold significantly different views. Modern Political Ideologies has been the leading textbook for advanced undergraduate courses in political ideology studies for many years, but since the publication of the prior edition in 2010, modern politics have changed rapidly, making the current political climate particularly challenging for students to comprehend and navigate. The new edition of Modern Political Ideologies will account for the social changes that have shaped the most popular modern political views, from the early origins of modern political thought through to the contemporary pressures that give new political parties their individual approaches. The new edition will feature a wholly new chapter on Populism, offering students a key insight into the ways that the growth of populist parties has shaped contemporary political dialogue. There will also be substantial revisions throughout the text, with a particular focus on new material on anarchism, conservativism, and feminism, accounting for the significant changes in the roles these ideologies play in modern politics. New material will also be introduced on neoliberalism, environmentalism and green' ideologies, identity politics, post-colonialism, and race. Avoiding a focus on any one particular country or set of historical assumptions, Modern Political Ideologies has long set the standard for advanced undergraduate textbooks in political science. It is an ideal textbook for courses in political science, political theory and philosophy, and political history"--

"What are the origins of nationalism and why is it capable of arousing such intense emotions? In this major study, Azar Gat counters the prevailing fashionable theories according to which nations and nationalism are modern and contrived or 'invented'. He sweeps across history and around the globe to reveal that ethnicity has always been highly political and that nations and national states have existed since the beginning of statehood millennia ago. He traces the deep roots of ethnicity and nationalism in human nature, showing how culture fits into human evolution from as early as our aboriginal condition and, in conjunction with kinship, defines ethnicity and ethnic allegiances. From the rise of states and empires to the present day, this book sheds new light on the explosive nature of ethnicity and nationalism, as well as on their more liberating and altruistic roles in forging identity and solidarity"--
"In the realm of political discourse there is a distinct gap in understanding between Russia and the West. To an outsider, the ideas that animate the actions of Russia's ruling elite, opposition, and civil society--from the motivations driving Russia's political actors to the class structure and international and domestic constraints that shape Russia's political thinking--remain shrouded in mystery. Contrary to the view that a bleak discursive uniformity reigns in Putin's Russia, Political Ideologies in Contemporary Russia shows that the country is engaging in serious theoretical debates across a wide spectrum of modern ideologies including liberalism, nationalism, feminism, and multiculturalism. Elena Chebankova argues that the nation is fragmented and the state seeks to balance the various ideological movements to ensure that none dominates. She shows that each of the main ideological trends is far from uniform, but the major opposition is between liberalism and traditionalism. The pluralistic picture she describes contests many current portrayals of Russia as an authoritarian or even totalitarian state. Offering an alternative to the Western lens through which to view global politics, Political Ideologies in Contemporary Russia is a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary Russia."--
