Acknowledgements
We would like to thank Andrew Taylor, Emma Chappell and Charlotte Endersby
for all their help on the third edition of this book – the first to be published by
Routledge. We are also grateful for the support received by Morten Fuglevand and
David Cox on the first two editions, which were published by Pearson Education.
We continue to find working together on this book a stimulating and enjoyable
experience. Both of us are committed to making political theory more accessible
and lively and have tried to write a book that is stimulating, provocative and
interesting.John Hoffman
