This book presents work from leading scholars on key debates in contemporary political theory. Topics include the relationship between history and theory; utilitarianism and rational choice; republicanism; problems of difference, multiculturalism and postcolonial theory; debates in current legal theory and international politics; hermeneutics; feminism; communitarianism and poststructuralism. The essays reflect the state of political theory today, but also contemplate the state of the discipline more broadly.
