"...an indispensable reference book on Ideology Studies - perhaps the most important resource in its field because it situates the main authors and subthemes precisely, as well as adding many useful definitions." -Political Studies Review

"This is a landmark volume: it synthesizes the work done so far and at the same time opens a new stage in the research of a key political phenomenon that has been, the editors correctly note, under-appreciated and under-researched." -International Affairs
