About The Book
"Political Ideologies" (7th Edition) by Andrew Heywood is the definitive undergraduate textbook that offers a sweeping survey of the political ideologies shaping the world today. This accessible and comprehensive guide introduces students to the political creeds and doctrines that have influenced history and continue to impact global politics. The book begins by focusing on traditional ideologies such as Conservatism, Socialism, Liberalism, Anarchism, and Fascism. It then moves to more contemporary movements, including Populism, Feminism, Green Ideology, Multiculturalism, and Religious Fundamentalism.

Revised and updated throughout, this edition reflects the significant political changes of recent years, including the decline of liberal democracy and the rise of populist movements and authoritarianism worldwide. Heywood’s text provides students with an understanding of the evolution and significance of political ideologies, offering a thorough analysis of their role in contemporary political events.

New to this edition are several important updates, including a brand-new chapter on Populism, expanded discussions on sexualities and trans issues within Feminism, and a broader range of religions covered in the Religious Fundamentalism chapter. The book also introduces new Key Thinker boxes that feature a more diverse set of voices and offers a fully revised concluding chapter on "Why Political Ideologies Matter."

In addition to the textbook, an enriched companion website provides valuable resources for teaching and learning, including a test bank, PowerPoint slides, flashcards, and interactive simulations. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone studying political ideologies, political theory, or introductory politics and is an essential read for understanding the dynamic world of politics today.
