I thought that members of the ECPR-theory discussion group may be
interested in the following forthcoming publications from Polity:
Political Philosophy
A Beginners’ Guide for Students and Politicians
Adam Swift
Politicians invoke grand ideas: social justice, liberty, equality,
community. But what do these ideas really mean? How can politicians across
the political spectrum appeal to the same values?
Political Philosophy: A Beginners' Guide for Students and Politicians
answers these important questions. Accessible and lively, the book is an
ideal student text, but it also brings the insights of the world's leading
political philosophers to a wide general audience. Using plenty of
examples, it equips readers to think for themselves about the ideas that
shape political life.

Europe Simple, Europe Strong
The Future of European Governance
Frank Vibert
Europe Simple, Europe Strong urges a radical rethink of the framework for
the continent-wide political union now possible and desirable in Europe.
It argues that the key to a successful system of government is the way in
which it connects two systems of choice – market choice and political
choice – and that Europe’s present approach is likely to lead to a
situation where neither system works well.

Democratic Theory Today
Challenges for the 21st Century
Edited by April Carter and Geoffrey Stokes
This book examines some key theoretical and practical problems for
democracy today, such as the nature of citizenship and forms of inequality
and exclusion based on poverty, gender and ethnic or cultural difference.

group rights and indigenous autonomy.
