    AN ANALYSIS OF SAMUEL P. HUNTINGTON'S THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS AND THE REMAKING OF WORLD ORDER
    RILEY QUINN
    The end of the Cold War, which occurred early in the 1990s, brought joy and freedom to millions. But it posed a difficult question to the world's governments and to the academics who studied them: how would world order be remade in an age no longer dominated by the competing ideologies of capitalism and communism? Samuel P. Huntington was one of the many political scientists wh...

    AN ANALYSIS OF SHEILA FITZPATRICK'S EVERYDAY STALINISM
    VICTOR PETROV / RILEY QUINN
    How was the Soviet Union like a soup kitchen? In this important and highly revisionist work, historian Sheila Fitzpatrick explains that a reimagining of the Communist state as a provider of goods for the ‘deserving poor’ can be seen as a powerful metaphor for understanding Soviet life as a whole. By positioning the state both as a provider and as a relief agency, Fitzpatrick es...

    AN ANALYSIS OF NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI'S THE PRINCE
    RILEY QUINN / BEN WORTHY
    How should rulers rule? What is the nature of power? These questions had already been asked when Niccolò Machiavelli wrote The Prince in 1513. But what made his thinking on the topic different was his ability to interpret evidence: to look at old issues and find new meaning within them. Many of Machiavelli’s contemporaries thought that God would make sure morality was rewarded....

    AN ANALYSIS OF ARISTOTLE'S POLITICS
    KATHERINE BERRISFORD / RILEY QUINN
    Aristotle remains one of the most celebrated thinkers of all time in large part thanks to his incisive critical thinking skills.

    AN ANALYSIS OF ROBERT A. DAHL'S DEMOCRACY AND ITS CRITICS
    ASTRID NOREN NILSSON / ELIZABETH MORROW / RILEY QUINN
    There are few better examples of analysis – the critical thinking skill of understanding how an argument is built – than Robert Dahl’s Democracy and its Critics. In this work, the American political theorist closely analyzes the democratic political system and then evaluates whether the arguments that are in favor of it are, in fact, rigorous. ¶Dahl sets out to describe democra...

    AN ANALYSIS OF PAUL KENNEDY'S THE RISE AND FALL OF THE GREAT POWERS
    RILEY QUINN
    Paul Kennedy owes a great deal to the editor who persuaded him to add a final chapter to this study of the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of European powers since the age of Spain’s Philip II. This tailpiece indulged in what was, for an historian, a most unusual activity: it looked into the future. Pondering whether the United States would ultimately suffer the s...

    AN ANALYSIS OF EDWARD SAID'S ORIENTALISM
    RILEY QUINN
    Edward Said’s Orientalism is a masterclass in the art of interpretation wedded to close analysis. Interpretation is characterized by close attention to the meanings of terms, by clarifying, questioning definitions, and positing clear definitions. Combined with one of the main sub-skills of analysis, drawing inferences and finding implicit reasons and assumptions in arguments, i...

    AN ANALYSIS OF THEDA SKOCPOL'S STATES AND SOCIAL REVOLUTIONS

    Many people want to understand what revolutions are and – especially – how they come about, from the academics who study them to the states that wish to prevent (or, in some cases, provoke) them. But it is arguably the US scholar Theda Skocpol who has done most to create a viable model of revolution, and States and Social Revolutions is the work in which she sets out her intell...

    AN ANALYSIS OF MAHBUB UL HAQ'S REFLECTIONS ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
    RILEY QUINN
    What is the ultimate goal of any human society? There have been many answers to this question.

If this is the agreed aim, ...
