David Held 
Political Theory and the Modern State [PDF ebook] 

Wsparcie

This volume offers an incisive overview of central issues and
controversies in political thought and analysis. It includes major
discussions of the idea of the modern state, contemporary theories
of the state, problems of power and legitimation, new forms of
democratic ideal, citizenship and social movements, the direction
of public policy and the fate of sovereignty in the modern global
system. While analysing these topics, the author critically
assesses the thought of many of those who have contributed
decisively to political discussion. Among those whose works are
discussed are classic figures such as Hobbes, Locke, Mill and Marx,
as well as contemporary writers such as Habermas, Offe and Giddens.
Political Theory and the Modern State is an ideal
resource for students seeking an introduction to modern politics
and political sociology. It is also an original statement about the
many competing perspectives in political thought today.
