Description

As well as introducing the 'mainstream' ideologies of Liberalism, Conservatism and Socialism, this text also examines challenges from nationalists, feminists and Green thinkers, and the ideological controversy surrounding multiculturalism. It concludes by reviewing the prospects for ideology in an increasingly depoliticised Britain.
