"Globalizing Political Theory is guided by the need to understand and examine political theory globally. It highlights the myriad ways in which political theory is deeply embedded in local networks of power, identity, and structure and how they converge and diverge with the global. With the help of this book, students of political theory no longer need to learn about their ideas in a vacuum with little or no attention paid to how such ideas are responses to varying local political problems in different places, times, and contexts. Key Features include: Central Conceptual Framework: Introducing readers to what it means to "globalize" political theory and to move beyond the traditional western canon and actively engage with a multiplicity of perspectives. Organization: Focused on key topics essential for an introductory class aimed at both globalizing political theory and showing how political theory itself is a globalizing activity. Themes: Colonialism and Empire, Gender and Sexuality, Religion and Secularism, Marxism and Socialism, Globalization and Capitalism, Democracy and Protest, and Race, Ethnicity, and Indigeneity Pedagogy: Each chapter features theoretical concepts and definitions, political and historical context, key authors and biographical context, textual evidence and exegesis from the foundational texts in that thematic area, a list of discussion questions, and a list of resources for further reading. Committed to a multiplicity of perspectives and an active engagement between the global and the local, Globalizing Political Theory connects directly with undergraduate and graduate-level courses in political theory, global political theory, and non-western political thought"--
