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, so 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!)

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)
