World Political Theories

World Political Theories will change the way we think about non-Western political ideas. Each book in the series looks at a particular political region, and how thinking about politics has developed there. In doing so, the books will ask how universal political theory actually is, and to what extent place makes a difference. Through looking at the historical development of political thinking, and at the ways in which it is being used and changing today, the books provide important context for understanding contemporary politics in Africa, the Middle East, East Asia, and Latin America and introduce new ideas and challenges to conventional political theory.
