Sage Publications Political Leadership - SAGE Library of Political Science

Explore the complex nature of democratic leadership with this comprehensive four-volume collection from the SAGE Library of Political Science. This set examines leadership through multiple lenses, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, business studies, philosophy, and history. By studying the core questions of the political sphere, readers can better understand what defines a successful leader and the actual level of influence an individual can exert. The collection also addresses important modern questions, such as the representation of women in top political roles. David Bell provides a deep historical foundation by rooting these studies in the classic works of Machiavelli and Weber. The series then transitions into the work of American political scientists who pioneered the systematic study of leadership. This collection is an essential resource for anyone interested in the social sciences and the mechanics of political power.
