This book offers for the first time a conceptual history of
compromise. Alin Fumurescu combines contextual historical analysis
of daily parlance and a survey of the usage of the word from the
end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth
century in both French and English with an analysis of canonical
texts in the history of political thought. This book fills a
significant gap in the literature about compromise and demonstrates
the connection between different understandings of compromise and
corresponding differences in understandings of political
representation. In addition, Fumurescu addresses two controversial
contemporary debates about when compromise is beneficial and when
it should be avoided at all costs. A better understanding of the
genealogy of compromise offers new venues for rethinking basic
assumptions regarding political representation and the relationship
between individuals and politics.
