Principles and Concepts of Political Theory

Description

Whatever else politics might be, it is a social activity. It is therefore conducted through the medium of language, whether written in books, pamphlets and manifestos, daubed on placards and walls, or spoken in meetings, shouted at rallies or chanted on demonstrations and marches. The book “Principles and Concepts of Political Theory” begins with introduction to political theory, its history, evolution & approaches while also discussing forms & organs of Government. It also examines the extent to which freedom or equality is actually present in the institutions that we participate in, everyday life such as schools, shops, buses or trains or government offices. At an advanced level, it looks at whether existing definitions are adequate and how existing institutions (government, bureaucracy) and policy practices must be modified to become more democratic. The objective of political theory is to train citizens to think rationally about political questions and assess the political events of our time. It progresses to discuss contemporary political analysis in light of American concepts and main currents of Political Thought in detail. It contains a comprehensive study of the subject, with the latest thinking by the political scientists of the world today. This book would be extremely useful for the students pursuing BA Political Science.
