I have tried my best to write this book as per the syllabus of B. A. II year Political Science students.

In this book I have mentioned Western Political Thinkers, their ideas and analysis. For better understanding of the student, the language of book is simple and no unnecessary details have been added. According to the need of students the book includes all the important quotations of thinkers and also has objective questions with their answers.

This book has been written to provide students with all the consolidated study material related to western thinkers according to the syllabus at one place in simple language.

I have received guidance and support of my Father Prof. R. P. Rai who is a retired Professor of Political Science. For making this book more successful, suggestions are welcomed from students.
