This material volume offers a collection of 19 primary texts on modern political theory. It complements the textbook Modern Political Theory by documenting original contributions. Thus, it spans a range from realistic to (neo-)Marxist to feminist approaches. Classic contributions to political theory from the 20th century have been selected, supplemented by contemporary works. This allows for an exemplary deepening of topics from the lecture volume. Brief comments facilitate the contextualization of the contributions. The lecture and material volumes form a cohesive unit. Together, they provide an ideal introduction to contemporary political thought, requiring no prior knowledge.
