Introduction
This unit introduces students to the study of political ideologies focusing on some of the major ideological frameworks that have and continue to guide political action in the modern era. In the unit, students will consider liberal, conservative and other ideologies. The unit will examine how different ideologies conceptualise the nature and role of the state and citizens and consider the relative priorities they assign to such values of democracy, development, fairness, freedom and order when providing a basis for political action.
