Einführung in die Politischen Theorien der Moderne

The book provides a systematic introduction to the political theories of modernity, distinguishing between four paradigms: liberalism, republicanism/community, deliberative, and postmodern theories. The theories are contextualized in their historical development, presented in their various forms, and related to one another. Due to its didactic structure, the textbook is excellent for self-study. "An introduction that can claim a firm place in the field of conveying modern political theories." (Journal of Politics) "This is the kind of introduction one wishes for beginners! ... must-have!" (ekz Information Service) "A didactically well-thought-out introduction" (PVS).
