Introduction – dialogues with contemporary political theorists
then and now
Gary Browning , Raia Prokhovnik, Maria Dimova-Cookson
pp. 1-23
This book offers an engaging introduction to the range and vibrancy of contemporary political theory.1 It provides a unique overview of the variety of ways in which political theory has been done and debated over the last few decades. Through the conversations and dialogues in this book, the perspectives and contexts of some of the most celebrated recent political theorists come alive. The important themes of liberty, equality, democracy, justice, gender, class, identity, and international politics are developed in the different chapters. The insights gained through reading these interviews are an invaluable place to start for those who have not already been steeped in political ideas, and for those with a preceding academic interest in political theory the book has even more to offer.
