This collaborative volume offers the first historical
reconstruction of the concept of popular sovereignty from antiquity
to the twentieth century. First formulated between the late
sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries, the various early modern
conceptions of the doctrine were heavily indebted to Roman
reflection on forms of government and Athenian ideas of popular
power. This study, edited by Richard Bourke and Quentin Skinner,
traces successive transformations of the doctrine, rather than
narrating a linear development. It examines critical moments in the
career of popular sovereignty, spanning antiquity, medieval Europe,
the early modern wars of religion, the revolutions of the
eighteenth century and their aftermath, decolonisation and mass
democracy. Featuring original work by an international team of
scholars, the book offers a reconsideration of one of the formative
principles of contemporary politics by exploring its descent from
classical city-states to the advent of the modern state.
