The book provides a thematic examination of republican theory from
the Italian Renaissance, through seventeenth- and
early-eighteenth-century England, the late- eighteenth-century
Enlightenment and the experiences of the early American republic to
contemporary debates. It maps out a republican ideal type according
to four themes - popular sovereignty, a view of history which is
sensitive to systemic corruption, an insistence on civic virtue
and, following Philip Pettit, a conception of liberty as
non-domination. It evaluates the attractiveness of those themes to
liberals, communitarians, socialists, environmentalists and
feminists and examines their relevance to inhabitants of the
non-Western world. The book contributes to several topical debates
dealing with the distinctiveness of a specifically republican
tradition, the eclipse of virtue-centred thinking in the eighteenth
century, the reassessment of the United States revolutionary
tradition, the merits of liberalism versus communitarianism and the
waves of democracy which are currently celebrated and criticized
worldwide.
