The contemporary theory is a veritable challenge to map out the terrain traversed by the political theorists and the theoretical apparatus deployed by them in contemporary times. The challenge emanates from many sources. Contemporary political theory does not neatly follow the commonly accepted category of classification, viz, historical, normative and empirical and does not stay within a particular tradition, as the earlier theorists did. Sometimes, they appear to be making use of different conceptions in their enterprise and employ them in a manner which was not seen earlier. Contemporary theorisation in political theory has grown in reaction to the limitation of the earlier projects, mostly falling under the two great traditions, namely, Liberalism and Marxism and interrogates them and their category of analysis by selectively borrowing from them. But in the course of building the theoretical edifice, they break new grounds and create new sites for political investigation and also innovate new tools for searching and establishing the principles of politics. Nonetheless, the contemporary project on political theory does not move beyond the terms of trade called political theory as discussed earlier; that is, historical, normative and imperial but the mode of employing them has some hybridness in character.
