Handbook of Political Theory

In compiling this Handbook of Political Theory our aim has been to provide both a comprehensive mapping of the terrain of contemporary political theory and in-depth analyses. We have eschewed short encyclopaedia-like treatments in favour of essays that present not only a précis of the state of scholarship, but the contributor’s own analysis of the main issues. As such, the Handbook should be useful to scholars as well as students – especially postgraduate students who are seeking to acquaint themselves with current scholarship in contemporary political theory.
