'historical and panoramic approach to the field of political theory. It is written in that clear, fluent, and often truly beautiful style.' The Journal of Politics How did ideas such as liberty, democracy and equality develop in the West over the course of thousands of years? What is justice, the nature of the state, citizenship and the role of religion? And why should we study the history of political thought to understand contemporary society? Exploring the long-term development of political thought allows John Bowle to explore these challenging questions and themes. Introducing the reader to many of the central figures in the history of political thought from Aristotle to St. Augustine, Machiavelli to Rousseau, Bowle provides wonderful insight into their ideas and writings and how they have influenced the world even to this day. 'This is a good and useful book. It is written modestly, as an introduction to a large subject, and with the intention of bringing the reader to the master-works described in the text. Mr. Bowle, however, does more than parade a string of racehorses and give the bystanders short accounts of their pedigree and form. He relates the thought of an age to its general context in political and social history and explains why problems of universal interest took at different times their particular shapes. Mr. Bowle's historical comments (including his footnotes) are vivid and exact... at a time of much weariness and pessimism, his account of the rise of the western tradition of political thought deserves a wide circle of readers.' The Economist 'This first volume deals with the evolution of western thought from the beginnings of what we agree to call "civilization" down to the French Revolution. Let me say at once that it is an exhilarating and even exciting book... Mr. Bowle writes with a good deal of learning, and in a pleasant dignified style... No one I think who's interested in the unending adventure of the human mind could fail to be interested by these really illuminating pages.' Prof. Harold Laski in a B.B.C. review

Doing and evolving with a political theory becomes easier for the students when they are reading the concepts presented here, in this book. Social and political philosophies learning become easier for the students where the mainstream academic political philosophies, take lead in the normative issues, across the nations. Universal content is occasional, whereas MPP, or the mainstream political philosophy, is just mainly parochial. To take inspiration from the societies other than the west, can hardly bring in references to the local problems. It takes scant notice, of the major cross-cultural issues, to acquire a unique, inflection in the different cultures. Western philosophies hardly become role model for students to acquire gist. Further, the difficulties are compounded just because of the non-availability of any good political science journals today. The book is just motivated by a unique but unflappable drive, to cater to the needs of those deserving students that are yearning for a quality textbook in the subject of political theory. It is gradually becoming an Inter disciplinary concept for any students from the other departments to pay heed. Contributors include the editors, and the students. So, it is dedicated to all the students, editors and contributors of all the kind, to be an excellent teaching cause.

Increased flows of people, capital, and ideas across geographic borders raise urgent challenges to the existing terms and practices of politics. Comparative political theory seeks to devise new intellectual frames for addressing these challenges by questioning the canonical (that is, Euro-American) categories that have historically shaped inquiry in political theory and other disciplines. It does this byanalyzing normative claims, discursive structures, and formations of power in and from all parts of the world. By looking to alternative bodies of thought and experience, as well as the terms we might use to critically examine them, comparative political theory encourages self-reflexivity about the premises of normative ideas and articulates new possibilities for political theory and practice. The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Political Theory provides an entry point into this burgeoning field by both synthesizing and challenging the terms which motivate it. Over the course of five thematic sections and thirty-three chapters, this volume surveys the field and archives of comparative political theory, bringing the many approaches to the field into conversation for the first time. Sections address geographic location as a subject of political theorizing; how the past becomes a key site for staking political claims; the politics of translation and appropriation; the justification of political authority; and questions of disciplinary commitment and rules of knowledge. Ultimately, the handbook demonstrates how mainstream political theory can and must be enriched through attention to genuinely global, rather than parochially Euro-American, contributions to political thinking.
