- Oxford Handbooks of Political Science are the essential guide to the state of political science today
- The only fully comprehensive ten-volume survey of the whole discipline
- Not just a review of the discipline, but a major contribution to it
- The Oxford Handbook of Political Theory is innovatively characterized by a broad-ranging re-examination of the field
- Ambitious in scope, the volume contains sections on: Contemporary Currents; The Legacy of the Past; Political Theory in the World; State and People; Justice, Equality, and Freedom; Pluralism, Multiculturalism, and Nationalism; Claims in a Global Context; The Body Politic; and Testing the Boundaries
- Engagingly written by an illustrious team of international contributors
The Oxford Handbooks of Political Science is a ten-volume set of reference books offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the state of political science. Each volume focuses on a particular part of the discipline, with volumes on Public Policy, Political Theory, Political Economy, Contextual Political Analysis, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Law and Politics, Political Behavior, Political Institutions, and Political Methodology. The project as a whole is under the General Editorship of Robert E. Goodin, with each volume being edited by a distinguished international group of specialists in their respective fields. The books set out not just to report on the discipline, but to shape it. The series will be an indispensable
point of reference for anyone working in political science and adjacent disciplines.
Long recognized as one of the main branches of political science, political theory has in recent years burgeoned in many different directions. Close textual analysis of historical texts sits alongside more analytical work on the nature and normative grounds of political values. Continental and post-modern influences jostle with ones from economics, history, sociology, and the law. Feminist concerns with embodiment make us look at old problems in new ways, and challenges of new technologies open whole new vistas for political theory.
This Handbook provides comprehensive and critical coverage of the lively and contested field of political theory, and will
help set the agenda for the field for years to come. Forty-five chapters by distinguished political theorists look at the state of the field, where it has been in the recent past, and where it is likely to go in future. They examine political theory's edges as well as its core, the globalizing context of the field, and the challenges presented by social, economic, and technological changes.
Readership: Scholars and students of political science and other adjacent disciplines, especially political theory, political philosophy, history of political thought, sociology, cultural studies, and anthropology

"The contributors of these chapters are an impressive array of talants... To read their contributions is to learn of the edd and flow of current debates, discussions and conclusions of political theory understood most broadly... the editors have done great service to political theory with this stock taking and assessment, which is at once thorough, well thought out, systematic, creative and - at time - risk taking. It belongs on the shelves of all philosopher-monarchs." - Michael Jackson, University of Sydney "Spanning all of the major substantive areas and approaches in modern political science, this blockbuster set is a must-have for scholars and students alike. Each volume is crafted by a distinguished set of editors who
have assembled critical, comprehensive, essays to survey accumulated knowledge and emerging issues in the study of politics. These volumes will help to shape the discipline for many years to come." - Theda Skocpol, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology, and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University "Judging from the editors, contributors, and topics covered, the forthcoming Oxford Handbooks of Political Science will_ be a landmark series...This is a series that not only _ university libraries, but more specialized social science _ and political science libraries, will want to have on their shelves" - Robert O. Keohane, Professor of International _ Affairs, Princeton University
_ "This extraordinary series offers 'state of the art' _ assessments that instruct, engage, and provoke. Both _ synoptic and directive, the fine essays across these _ superbly edited volumes reflect the ambitions and diversity of political science. No one who is immersed in the _ discipline's controversies and possibilities should miss the intellectual stimulation and critical appraisal these works so powerfully provide." - Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History, Columbia University _ "Under the general editorship of Robert E. Goodin, a large group of intellectually attractive authors has charted the entire field of political science in an unbiased multi-paradigmatic way. Minerva's owl would
make a nice logo for this monumental collective work of the Oxford Handbooks: what moves us forward is looking back at what we know." - Claus Offe, Professor of Political Science, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin and Institute for Social Science, Humboldt University, Berlin. "This is a unique and impressive set of analyses about scholarship in political theory. It is comprehensive, as we would expect. Beyond that, it is remarkably creative in the way that Dryzek, Honig and Phillips have organized categories, and it includes much overdue reference to scholarship on non-Western and postcolonial thought." - Iris Marion Young, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago "A paramount effort coordinated by Robert Goodin
for Oxford University Press has produced an impressive set of ten volumes about the state of the discipline, the Oxford Handbook of Political Science, which has become an instant must." - Josep Colomer's Weekly Blog
