'A gem of a book, with clear and insightful explanationsof ideological positions with informed and thought-provoking casestudies. Goodwin cleverly interweaves real-world examples and theinfluence of key thinkers in a discursive dialogue with the readerto ensure conceptual ideas are retained without losing any of theacademic rigour. The format of this book is particularly useful fortutorial discussions on political theory or politics inpractice.'
