This highly lauded reader, now in a new, updated Fourth Edition, introduces students to the “isms” that have shaped modern politics.

Presenting key selections from a wide array of original sources, this collection covers the gamut of ideologies—from the classic “standards” to newly emerging ideologies—and puts students directly in touch with the thinkers and the ideas that have shaped our world. A logical organization, introductions to each selection, and new explanatory notes make Ball & Dagger's reader accessible and engaging for students.

The Fourth Edition of the best-selling companion text, Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, has also been updated and revised to reflect new developments in political thinking and movements. (Give Value Pack ISBN 0-201-75352-9 to your bookstore to order the text & reader package).
