What is the proper subject matter for political theory? Uncertainty
about the most appropriate way of answering these questions
provides the key rationales for this volume: to provide a
comprehensive overview of the central questions and debates in
contemporary political thought and to offer guidelines for the
reformulation of political theory made necessary by the
philosophical and substantive problems it faces today. The twelve
essays in this book examine some of the classic traditional
questions of political theory: the nature of obligation, equality,
liberty, the public, the private, democracy, and justice. They also
examine questions that relate these notions to a broader framework
encompassing the many recent changes in the nation-state, forms of
sovereignty, domestic and international law, violence and warfare,
and domestic and international political economy. The contributors
are leading scholars in political theory from the United States,
Europe, and Africa: Samir Amin, Charles Beitz, Antonio Cassese,
John Dunn, Jon Elster, David Held, Agnes Heller, Steven Lukes, Iain
McLean, Claus Offe, Susan Moller Okin, Onora O'Neill and Ulrich K.
Preuss.
