Republicanism is a powerful resource for emancipatory struggles
against domination. Its commitment to popular sovereignty subverts
justifications of authority, locating power in the hands of the
citizenry who hold the capacity to create, transform, and maintain
their political institutions. Republicanism's conception of freedom
rejects social, political, and economic structures subordinating
citizens to any uncontrolled power - from capitalism and
wage-labour to patriarchy and imperialism. It views any such
domination as inimical to republican freedom. Moreover, it combines
a revolutionary commitment to overturning despotic and tyrannical
regimes with the creation of political and economic institutions
that realise the sovereignty of all citizens, institutions that are
resilient to threats of oligarchical control. This volume is
dedicated to retrieving and developing this radical potential,
challenging the more conventional moderate conceptions of
republicanism. It brings together scholars at the forefront of
tracing this radical heritage of the republican tradition, and
developing arguments, texts, and practices into a critical and
emancipatory body of political and social thought. The volume spans
historical discussions of the English Levellers, French and Ottoman
revolutionaries, and American abolitionists and trade unionists;
explorations of the radical republican aspects of the thought of
Machiavelli, Marx, and Rousseau; and theoretical examinations of
social domination and popular constitutionalism. It will appeal to
political theorists, historians of political thought, and political
activists interested in how republicanism provides a robust and
successful radical transformation to existing social and political
orders.
