Čtvrté vydání této učebnice – odborníky nanejvýš příznivě přijaté a i komerčně úspěšné – je čtivým a srozumitelným uvedením do názorových proudů a doktrín, které utvářely světovou politiku a dominovaly jí. Počínaje tradičními ideologiemi 19. století, jako jsou liberalismus, konzervatismus a socialismus a konče tzv. „novými“ ideologiemi jako jsou feminismus, ekologismus a politický islám. Autor objasňuje jak historický vývoj každé z nich, tak jejich vliv na politická hnutí, strany a vlády dnes. Ve své práci představuje myšlenky a hodnoty pro jednotlivé ideologie příznačné a osvětluje konkurující si a leckdy i vzájemně protikladné proudy, ve které tyto myšlenky a hodnoty vyústily. Nové vydání bylo všestranně aktualizováno. Obšírného výkladu se dostalo např. multikulturalismu a neokonzervatismu, které v současnosti hrají významnou roli.
