University Reading List (politcal books). Any recommended additions?
I'm starting a degree in Politic's next year and have complied a list of books (loosely categorised) to read in preperation (and of general interest) and was wandering if anyone has any recommendations for either books to take off, or to add. I have already read alot of the anarchist and socialist writings (other than those listed) and as such would most like to hear recommendations for economic books and books concerning current issues; globalisation, Iraq, etc. Below is the list I have compiled so far all of which I have yet to read (in their entirety):
