Verma (formerly, political science, U. of Rajasthan, India) presents this volume as a step towards developing an empirical theory for political science that also has application in the form of "political engineering" and "political technologies." He assesses the value of systems and structural functional approaches and addresses such overarching issues as authority and legitimacy, modernization and political development, state supremacy, democracy, political ideologies and cultures, globalization and global governance, the impact of feminism on political theory, contemporary terrorism, and theoretical aspects of human rights.
