Ideologies influence not only our politics, but also our basic societal values, our socialization as individuals, and the way we communicate. As the world changes, the ideologies through which we view it also change. Showing the evolution of politics through the study of ideas, Dogmas and Dreams is the perfect entrée to political science and political theory.
In addition to expanded coverage of liberalism, libertarianism, and democratic socialism, eleven new selections explore the varied effects of globalization on traditional and emergent ideologies: How have traditional ideologies changed in response to processes of globalization? How has globalization prompted the development of new ideologies?
Love’s insightful introductions ask readers to discover and challenge their own political convictions as they engage with the original selections.

Testimonials
Unlike standard textbooks readers that provide short excerpts from the works of various authors, Dogmas and Dreams offers substantial selections that allow students more fully to appreciate the nuances of each ideology. For this reason it is a perfect tool for teaching who wish to give students an in-depth exposure to ideologies. - Doug Blum, Providence College
Love has written a smart and accessible text which will appeal to students and instructors alike. Taking political ideologies seriously within the framework of an analysis that emphasizes the role of social imagination, this book neatly sets out an exposition of the seminal moments of modern political thought. It does this with a twist, however, encouraging students to think about the emerging global reach of ideology and, as such, the paramount importance of ideology for 'thinking democratically'. - Nicholas Kiersey, Ohio University
