Title: basic primer on political philosophy
Review: I'm using this book for my introduction to comparative politics course. It's fine as far as it goes. It's essentially a primer on different political philosophies. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or exceptional in this book. The text is easy to read - something very important to my undergrads. The authors do a fair job describing the intellectual history of each political philosophy. Sometimes the chapters break down and just become a laundry list of historical developments and the larger thematic development is lost. Nonetheless, if you want your students to learn about Liberal, Conservative, and Fascist ideologies, this book will do the trick.
