Philipp Schink - Böcker

Exploring the relationship between democracy and republicanism, and its consequences, key thinkers expand upon the foundational principle of republicanism – 'freedom as non-domination' – to articulate new theoretical insights into connections between liberty, law and democratic politics, and a radically new conceptualisation of the meaning and structure of democratic institutions and procedures. They present both historical and theoretical perspectives, giving an alternative to the political and legal theory of contemporary liberalism. Contributors include Philip Pettit, John Ferejohn, Rainer Forst, James Bohman, Cécile Laborde, Jack N. Rakove, John P. McCormick and Richard Bellamy.
