Politics by Kenneth R Minogue

Politics by Kenneth R Minogue

Designed both for the general reader and the student embarking on a course of political science, this is a lively introduction to the central issues of politics, which charts how they developed and how they helped to shape society. It includes chapters dealing with the Ancient Greeks and the idea of citizenship; Roman law; medieval Christianity and individualism; freedom since Machiavelli and Hobbes; the challenge of ideologies; democracy, oligarchy and bureaucracy; power and order in modern society; and politics in the West.

Kenneth Minogue is an emeritus professor of political science at the London School of Economics. He has written books on liberalism, nationalism, the idea of a university, the logic of ideology, and, more recently, democracy and the moral life. He has reviewed in many places, and has been a columnist for The Times, the Times Higher Education Supplement, and other outlets. His most recent books include Politics: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press), and an edited volume, Essays in Conservative Realism. In 1986, he presented a six-part television series about libertarian economics called The New Enlightenment on Channel Four. It was repeated in 1988. He was the chairman of the Bruges Group from 1991 to 1993, and is on the board of the think tank Civitas. He was born in New Zealand and educated in Australia.
