Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, Third Canadian Edition with MySearchLab (3rd Edition)

Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal aims first to supply an informed and accessible overview of the major ideologies that shaped the political landscape of the twentieth century and now begin to give shape to that of the twenty-first; and, second, to show how these ideologies originated and how and why they have changed over time. The text provides the reader with a sense of the history, structure, supporting arguments, and internal complexities of the major modern "isms"–liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and fascism–and other recently emerging ideologies, such as environmentalism.

The Third Canadian Edition has improved pedagogical features such as learning objectives and social media references to make the text more accessible and engaging. It has also been updated to reflect new research and recent global changes.
