Contemporary Political Thought

This course introduces students to theoretical perspectives within contemporary political thought. A central concern will be how each of the great modern traditions of Western political thought - Liberalism, Conservatism and Marxism - adapted to changing conditions in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond. In dialogue with these traditions, we will also examine new visions and revisions advanced by advocates of communitarianism, feminism, ecologism and environmentalism, post-modernism, multi-culturalism, post-colonialism and anti-capitalism.
