Routledge Handbook of Political Leadership

This Handbook offers a state of the art overview of political leadership. Bell draws from not only the fields of political science and international relations but also from organization and management studies, anthropology and psychology. It focuses on the theory, history of the study, the techniques of leadership, its discourse and the moral basis for leadership.

Drawing together contributions from leading researchers in the field from the US, UK & Europe, this work will be of great interest to all students and scholars of political leadership, political psychology and leadership studies.

David S. Bell is Professor of French Government & Politics at the University of Leeds, UK. He is the Chair of the PSA Specialist Group in Political Leadership.
