In the most original interpretation of Aristotle’s "Politics" in years, Michael Davis delivers many memorable and provocative formulations of Aristotle’s messages concerning the constitutive tensions of political life. He traces the uncanny parallel between politics and philosophy in Aristotle, arguing that their connection is much deeper than it is ordinarily understood to be and that, for Aristotle, understanding either requires understanding the other. Davis presents his interpretation with a striking clarity and accessibility that makes the book a pleasure to read.

As Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad has led Malaysia to a high rate of economic growth and a reduction of poverty. The recent economic crisis in Asia has put Mahathir’s controversial rule under increasing scrutiny. This book examines Mahathir’s character, his ideas and often despotic nature, relating them to Malaysia’s social, economic and political context. It contrasts his success at managing ethnic tensions, policies of industrialization, modernization and foreign policy, with his failures in human rights, checking corruption and grandiose projects. While many believe tha

Our treatment of, and attitudes towards, animals vary from respect and concern at one end of the scale to cruelty and neglect at the other. Acts of violence to animals are countered by acts of violence on the behalf of animals. This book is about these apparently contradictory responses. It seeks to examine moral theories which endeavour to tell us how we ought to treat animals as well as how individuals and the law actually do treat them. In this work the author combines his professional knowledge as a political scientist with his interest in, and concern for, the plight of animals and our mo

Written by the country’s leading scholars of Southern politics, and designed to be adopted for courses
