Freedom of association is a cherished liberal value, both for
classical liberals who are generally antagonistic toward government
interference in the choices made by individuals, and for
contemporary liberals who are more sanguine about the role of
government. However, there are fundamental differences between the
two viewpoints in the status that they afford to associational
freedom. While classical liberals ground their support for freedom
of association on the core notion of individual liberty,
contemporary liberals usually conceive of freedom of association as
one among many values that are necessary for a liberal democracy to
flourish. Which position provides a better grounding for freedom of
association? Is liberal democracy the core value, or does a liberal
democracy become defensible to the extent that it protects the core
value of individual freedom? The twelve essays in this volume
explore the history and development of the right of free
association, and discuss the limits that may legitimately be placed
on this right. Some essays address the constitutional status of
freedom of association in the United States, exploring a range of
legal decisions on association handed down by various courts,
especially the Supreme Court. Some look at freedom of association
in the context of unionization, or university policies on military
recruiting, or the treatment of subversive organizations. Other
essays examine the tension between the right of individuals to
associate and the interest of government in preventing
discrimination against members of disadvantaged groups. Still
others address the views of particular political theorists who have
influenced the debate on associational freedom, theorists such as
John Locke, James Madison, Alexis de Tocqueville, and John Rawls.
