| PS 225 - Political Ideology |
|
Political Ideologies are comprehensive systems of political beliefs. More than particular opinions or suggestions for political programs, they contain interpretations of human nature, individual rights, and social life. They are oriented towards political action, containing particular programs for the structure of the state and authority, economic systems, and methods for solving political problems. This course focuses on the major ideologies of the modern era. These include liberalism, conservatism, fascism, Marxism, democratic socialism, anarchism, neo-liberalism, civil rights, feminism, and environmentalism. It examines the basic tenets of each ideology; the historical circumstances giving rise to their development and implementation, and their relevance to current political and social discourse.
