- In the comprehensively revised and updated third edition of this leading text on political ideologies, Andrew Heywood provides a clear and accessible introduction to the political creeds and doctrines that have dominated and shaped world politics for well over 200 years. Written from an international perspective and ranging from traditional nineteenth-century ideologies like liberalism, conservatism and socialism to more contemporary ones such as feminism, ecologism and political Islam, the author offers a clear exposition of both the historical development of each ideology and the impact each has had on contemporary political movements, parties and governments. The distinctive ideas and values of the various ideologies are highlighted, together with the competing, and sometimes conflicting, traditions which they have generated. This new edition includes a new boxed feature exploring the main tensions within each ideology. It also assesses throughout the prospects for ideologies in the twenty-first century, focusing on the impact on political ideology and the major ideological traditions of such developments as globalization, the advent of postmodernity and 'post-isms', and shifts in world order including the emergence of global terrorism.
