Book Description

Democracies are in crisis. Can republican theory contribute to reforming our political norms and institutions? The ‘neo-republican tu’ has seen scholars using the classical republican tradition in reconstructing and developing a vision of public life as an alteative to liberalism. This volume offers new perspectives from leading scholars on how republicanism can help transform democratic theory and respond to some of its most pressing challenges. Drawing on this recent revival of republican political thought, its chapters reflect on such issues as the republican definition of freedom as nondomination and its relation to democracy and populism, the ideal of the common good, domination in the workplace and in the family, republicanism in a globalized world, and radical republican politics. It will appeal to researchers and students in political theory, political philosophy and the history of ideas, and anyone interested in gaining greater insight into the prospects and challenges of republican democracy in today’s world.
