"The mid-twentieth century marked one of the greatest watersheds of Asian history, when a range of imperial constructs were declared to be nation-states, either by revolution or decolonisation. Nationalism was the great alchemist, turning the base metal of empire into the gold of nations. To achieve such a transformation from the immense diversity of these Asian empires required a different set of forces from those that Europeans had needed in their transitions from multi-ethnic empires to culturally homogeneous nations. In this book Anthony Reid explores the mysterious alchemy by which new political identities have been formed. Taking Southeast Asia as his example, Reid tests contemporary theory about the relation between modernity, nationalism, and ethnic identity. Grappling with concepts emanating from a very different European experience of nationalism, Reid develops his own typology to better fit the formation of political identities such as the Indonesian, Malay, Chinese, Acehnese, Batak and Kadazan"--Provided by publisher

"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"--
