Recent claims that civic republicanism can better address
contemporary political problems than either liberalism or
communitarianism are generating an intense debate. This is a sharp
insight into this debate, confronting normative theory with
historical and comparative analysis. It examines whether republican
theory can address contemporary political problems in ways that are
both valuable and significantly different in practice from
liberalism. These expert authors offer contrasting perspectives on
issues raised by the contemporary revival of republicanism and
adopt a variety of methodological approaches to address the
practical implications of republican thought within a coherent
thematic framework. This book also *clarifies core themes and
contested areas of republican thought, especially the notion of
liberty, the specific political institutions needed to realize it,
and the nature of solidarity among citizens. * shows how
republicanism continued to influence the development of liberal
thought in nineteenth century Britain * examines the development of
alternative republican discourses, including the established
political practice and ideology of the French republican tradition
* applies republican perspectives to contemporary political
concerns such as the creation of social trust and the expansion of
public accountability * explores the implications of republican
theory for policy areas including houses, education and marriage in
diverse multicultural societies This book will be of great interest
to researchers and students studying republicanism in political
science history, social policy and education. In addition, it is a
valuable resource for those concerned with citizenship, democratic
theory, multiculturalism, nationalism and patriotism, and politics
beyond the nation-state.
