"An anthology of classic readings, Ideals and Ideologies has itself become a classic. This is a deep reflection on and of our political world. Introducing students to the powerful ideas that have mobilized and inspired political actors and causes across the contemporary landscape, it is a wonderful teaching tool and useful reference guide. Chosen for accessibility as well as significance, and updated with important and timely new voices, each reading is expertly introduced by the editors. This eleventh edition maintains the high standards one has come to expect from Ball, Dagger, and O’Neill." ― Simone Chambers, University of California-Irvine, USA

"The reason this anthology is now in its eleventh edition is that Ball, Dagger and O’Neil strike the right balance between historical and contemporary as they expertly select, introduce and contextualize essential readings for the study of political ideologies. Offering an accessible and profound account of the significance and role of ideas in politics, Ideas and Ideologies continues to hold its place as one of the leading introductory textbooks for undergraduate teaching of political theory." ― Michaelle L. Browers, Wake Forest University, USA

Browers, Wake Forest University, USA
