I think that although the articles listed in the box are reasonable, we actually need short essays which will integrate many of these ideas thematically. So, in the absence of [apparently] any other living Politics editors, I suggest a short list below --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 16:22, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

The box is unfinished, s
I suggest the following additions to the list:
:* under ideologies:  ''utilitarianism''
:* under theorists: ''Rousseau, Mill, Pericles'' (for the Athenian ideal of democracy) ''Thomas Aquinas, John Rawls.''
:* under political systems: ''representative government'' (the system we now live under!)
[[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 04:49, 15 November 2007 (CSTKleineidam)
Can I also suggest we add ''Technocray'' under ideologies as well? [[User:Andrew Alexander Wallace|Andrew Alexander Wallace]] 05:36, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
Can I add [[Michael Oakeshott]] to theorists? [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 14:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
== Some tentative attempts at drafting==
In drafting an article on ''Politics'' and a linked article on ''Political Party'', I have been conscious of the danger of stepping on the toes of people better qualified for that purpose. I was encouraged, however, by the belief that what was available appeared to be incomplete or obscure. But in drafting all-inclusive articles of that  sort, the difficulty is how to hold the reader’s interest in the main issues without misleading him by over-simplification – and I am far from confident that I have got the balance right. I will readily withdraw if my drafts  are beyond redemption in  that respect, but my hope is that my fellow CZ writers will help by correcting what is misleading, and expanding the text where necessary, without insisting upon the inclusion of  excessive detail that would better be in linked articles.

== Some Updates ==
In the spirit of Collaboration Week (and so that Martin doesn't have to continue to feel alone here) I added the suggestions made above, which I thought were all good ones. (I assumed Alexander left a C out of Technocracy above. If that isn't so, he can add Technocray to the listing also - and explain what it may be.)
The large number of additions to the list of political theorists came straight from the TOC of Eberstein & Eberstein, ''Great Political Thinkers''. (5th edition, 1991, I'm sorry to say!) I was delighted to see the number of listings for which there were already CZ entries, and look forward to development of the rest.
There are still a host of contemporary additions that might be made to that list, including Robert Nozick (Anarchy, State and Utopia), Benjamin Barber (Strong Democracy), Amatai Etzioni,  (Communitarianism), Michael Sandel, and a host of new political economy, citizenship, civil society and social capital writers.
