MARTIN, John Levi. What is ideology?. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2015, n.77, pp.9-31. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2015776220.

Political ideology has been a confusing topic for social analysts, and those who attempted to eschew judgmental reductions of others’ conceptions and develop a non-polemical political psychology found ideology behaving in ways that defeated their theories of political reasoning.  I argue that political ideology can best be understood as actors’ theorization of their own position, and available strategies, in a political field.

Keywords : ideology; political parties; political psychology.
