Contemporary Political Theory provides an accessible introduction to the key
works of major contemporary political theorists. Key theorists and writers
include John Rawls, Robert Nozick, Michael Walzer, Michael Sandel, Susan Okin,
Will Kymlicka, Iris Marion Young, Charles Taylor, Nancy Fraser and John Dryzek.

The readings are organized thematically into seven sections on egalitarian-
liberalism, libertarianism, communitarianism, republicanism, feminism,
deliberative democracy, and multiculturalism. A substantial introduction
is provided to each to identify the main issues and the significance of the
carefully selected excerpts that follow.

The result is a complete but concise guide through the literature and major
topics and areas of debate in contemporary political theory and political
philosophy.
