New to the Twelfth edition:

In addition to a comprehensive updating of detail, examples, and data, the subsequent items are either solely new or considerably expanded in this edition:

  • The Great Recession, its reasons, and its political fallout.
  • Right-wing extremism is mounting in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
  • The recurrence of authoritarianism in the Developing World and Russia.
  • The transfer of power from Fidel to Raoul Castro, and the reunion of the US and Cuba.
  • The US tax system’s mal-distribution of wealth and its effects on the middle class and American democracy.
  • The increasing strength of feminism in the Developing World, and a new focus on the same-sex marriage and gender wage gap in the West.
  • The increasing salience of Islamism, the Iran nuclear deal, and the transformation of the Arab Spring to the Islamist Winter.
  • Terrorism’s increasing acceptance in particular quarters, especially the spread of ISIS in the Middle East and its increasing threat to the globe via sleeper cells and lone-wolf attacks.
  • The lately developed variegations in conservatism: The Tea Party movement, the expanding political importance of religious extremists, and the growing discourtesy of its extremists.
  • China’s continuing economic phenomenon while maintaining a steady grip on the political system, if through official corruption, but also suffering serious environmental, social, and health problems.
  • The mixed legacy of the Obama administration on health care, civil liberties, foreign policy, immigration, and especially the environment, and the rising jeopardy to the global environment posed by record-breaking global warming and pollution.

Logically organized and lucidly written, the ebook offers students an overview of the key types of political ideologies in the world in the past three centuries. Mainly valuable are the treatments of newer trends like environmentalism, feminism, and political Islam, in addition to the current rise of right-wing nationalism in America and elsewhere.
