Beskrivning

This book provides the first critical assessment of important recent developments in Anglo-American liberal theorizing about limited government. Following a comparative study of canonical liberal philosophers Hayek and Rawls, the book reveals a new direction for conceptualizing limited government in the twenty-first century, highlighting the central role that democratic politics - rather than philosophical principles - should play in determining the uses and limits of state power in a liberal regime. Williams draws on recent scholarship in the field of democratic theory and cultural studies in arguing for a shift in the ways liberals approach the study of politics.

Recensioner i media

"One of Juliet Williams's many achievements in her valuable exploration of liberal concern with limited government is her bold methodological challenge to the limits of liberal theorizing. In a work ranging from Rawls to reality television, she demonstrates how rigorous political theory can and must be responsive to its popular contexts." - Jodi Dean, author of Publicity's Secret: How Technoculture Capitalizes on Democracy
