Concepts have a particular importance for students of politics and
international relations. Political argument often boils down to a
struggle over the legitimate meaning of terms and enemies may argue,
fight and even go to war, each claiming to be 'defending freedom',
'upholding democracy' or 'supporting justice'. The problem is that
words such as 'freedom', 'democracy' and 'justice' have different
meanings to different people, so that the concepts themselves come to
seem problematic. This book provides an accessible and comprehensive
guide to the major concepts encountered in political analysis. Each
term is defined clearly and fully, and its significance for political
argument and practice is explored. The text has been updated and
expanded to take account of the increasing influence of globalization
on politics and now features 70 additional concepts. Renowned for its
lively, engaging style and user-friendly approach, the second edition
is an invaluable companion to the study of politics and international
relations.
