".... Coverage of the field is broad and deep, with 475 signed
entries written by more than 350 academics from institutions
worldwide.... Entries range from less than a page in length
(Essentialism, Subaltern) to eight-plus pages (Confucianism,
Libertarianism) and include cross-references to related essays as
well as suggestions for further reading.... The Encyclopedia of
Political Theory is recommended for academic libraries and large
public libraries."
*Jan Lewis*
"Bevir ... has done a super job editing this new encyclopedia,
which thoroughly addresses the key themes found in contemporary
political theory and its historical antecedents.... This set
evidences a sense of balance and proportionality among its articles
that can be hard to achieve.... Summing Up: Highly
recommended. *** Lower-level undergraduates and above, general
readers."-CHOICE
*J.P. Renaud*
"In this three-volume set, Bevir (Univ. of California, Berkeley)
has assembled a useful tool for anyone researching political
philosophy.... Bottom line While the general public might find it
useful for research a political ideology or theory, college
students majoring in political science will probably find it most
useful. Libraries that own the Encyclopedia of Political
Thought... might consider a newer book. Purchase if your
budget permits."
*Library Journal*
