Core articles initiative

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 --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 16:22, 27 September 2007 (CDT)

• Political systems
• Electoral systems
• Political parties
• International organizations
• History of political thought

Main ideologies	Important world leaders (2007)	Theorists	Political systems/forms of government
Anarchism Christian Democracy Communism Conservatism Democratism Fascism Green politics Islamism Liberalism Libertarianism Nationalism Nazism Socialism Social democracy Republicanism	G8 Shinzo Abe Tony Blair George W. Bush Nicolas Sarkozy Stephen Harper Angela Merkel Romano Prodi Vladimir Putin Other Kofi Annan José Manuel Barroso John Howard Hu Jintao Kim Jong-il Osama bin Laden	Aristotle Isaiah Berlin John Calvin Antonio Gramsci Jürgen Habermas John Locke Thomas Hobbes Niccolo Machiavelli Karl Marx Thomas Paine Plato Karl Popper Baruch Spinoza Alexis de Tocqueville Max Weber	Absolute monarchy Anarchy Aristocracy Autocracy Constitutional monarchy Democracy Despotism Dictatorship Federalism Monarchy Ochlocracy Oligarchy Panarchy Plutocracy Republic Technocracy Theocracy Tyranny
