Machiavelli's ideas are as important in our time as in his own. His
insights and prescriptions help us make sense of today's political
upheavals and natural calamities and reduce them to a working
order. The chapters in Machiavelli Then and Now explore
Machiavelli's central concerns: statecraft and order, liberty and
citizenship, diplomacy and leadership, modes of strategization, the
quest for empire - all set against the basic contention between
autarchy, oligarchy and democracy. They also address the ethical
and behaviourial factors behind political practice, such as force,
suasion, ambition, corruption and vigilance in public discourse.
The contributors consider the role of language, text and the
imagination in Machiavelli, and they also bring the Machiavellian
discourse closer to our own times, in relation to Gandhi, Gramsci
and Althusser. The book will interest historians, political
scientists and students of public policy; philosophers,
rhetoricians and literary critics; and no less institution
builders, diplomats and, administrators.
