Biography

Daniel Woodley teaches politics at DLD College in London. He holds a PhD in political sociology from the University of Essex (2002), and is the author of numerous articles and several textbooks on ideology and political theory including, most recently, Conservatism (2005).

Woodley’s sophisticated, wide-ranging, and clearly-written book convincingly dissects the anatomy of fascism, including its relation to the modern imperial-international context. - Patricia Owens, author of Between War and Politics: International Relations and the Thought of Hannah Arendt (Oxford, 2007)
