The Cambridge History of Greek and Roman Political… by Christopher Rowe

This seems like a pretty complete introduction to political thought in classical antiquity. Every essay is of high quality and together they provide a balanced overview of the subject. Several essays also indicate how ancient lines of thought differed from modern political ideas and how fragmentary our knowledge of political thought and practice in antiquity still is. Lots of good references are also given for those who want to explore this topic further.
