Topics covered in the IGNOU BPSC 101 Solved Assignment 2026-27 English Medium Pdf

The answers walk through the central debates of Understanding Political Theory. Question 1 explains the claim that political theory was in decline in the 1950s (Alfred Cobban, David Easton, Peter Laslett, logical positivism and behaviouralism) and its revival through Isaiah Berlin, Leo Strauss, Hannah Arendt, post-behaviouralism and John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice. Question 2 defines consent through the social contract thinkers Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau, separates express and tacit consent, and shows how consent is manipulated, with Walter Lippmann, Gramsci’s hegemony and the Herman–Chomsky propaganda model presented as a flowchart.

The middle-length answers cover the core tenets of liberalism (individualism, liberty, Mill’s harm principle, limited government, classical versus welfare liberalism) with a mind map; Marx and Engels’s historical materialism with a base–superstructure diagram; and Burke’s and Oakeshott’s conservatism with a comparison table. The short notes explain feminism and its waves, the dimensions of globalisation, Schumpeter’s and Dahl’s procedural democracy, forms of political participation, and T.H. Marshall’s theory of citizenship.
