Böcker i Political Theory & Contemporary Politics S.-serien

This work shows that liberal democracy can make sense as a single political conception, rather than a trade-off between two different ones. It also points to ways in which polities currently termed "liberal democracies" fall clearly short of the values that might legitimize them.

Although there is widespread political and public concern at the under representation of women in politics, progress towards political equality is still slow. Fiona Mackay explores the reasons for this, using insights from recent feminist theory on the "ethic of care."
