Description	An Introduction to Animals and Political Theory is a 2010 book by political theorist Alasdair Cochrane, published by Palgrave Macmillan as part of its Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series. It examines five schools of political theory—utilitarianism, liberalism, communitarianism, Marxism and feminism—and their relationship with the question of animal rights. Cochrane concludes that each tradition has something to offer, but ultimately presents his own account, based primarily on liberalism and utilitarianism.The book was reviewed in several academic publications and was received positively by the reviewers, including philosopher Steve Cooke and political theorist Robert Garner. Cooke said that Cochrane's own approach showed promise, but the book would have benefited from devoting more space to it; Garner praised Cochrane's synthesis of such a broad range of literature, but argued that the work was too uncritical of the concept of justice as it might apply to animals. Cochrane's account of interest-based rights for animals is considered at greater length in his 2012 book Animal Rights without Liberation.
