The political and environmental crises of the twenty-first century
require new approaches to the way we think and act politically.
This book explores the potential for engagement between green and
civic republican thought as part of these new approaches. The green
and civic republican traditions have important historical and
conceptual connections. They share an emphasis on the idea of
interdependence, the common good as distinct from individual and
sectional interests, and a corresponding critique of freedom as
non-interference and of arguments for minimising the state. Both
see the human project as marked by vulnerability, and the
achievement of stability and sustainability as a critical though
fragile goal, in whose realisation the state must play a
significant role. Both focus accordingly on constitutional law,
active citizenship and participatory democracy, and adopt a
critical stance towards economic inequality and capitalist economic
growth. The chapters address these in a variety of ways - from
examining fundamental concepts: freedom, rights and political
judgement, through analysing the potential grounds for connections
between green and republican political theory - vulnerability,
limits, sustainability and civic virtue - to outlining the kind of
agonistic republican politics and green political economy that
these imply. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of Critical Review of Social and Political
Philosophy.
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.
Does the concept of domination cast new light on issues that arise
in the context of migration and citizenship? If citizenship is a
status that provides protection from domination, understood as
subjection to arbitrary interference, are non-citizens - whether
outside or inside the state - necessarily subject to domination by
virtue of being non-citizens? Does domination provide a useful
basis for considering the harms that migrants suffer? If
non-domination is a value to be promoted in politics, what are the
implications for the treatment of migrants and resident
non-citizens? This book addresses issues of migration and
citizenship within the frame of freedom, in terms of domination,
understood as being subject to the threat of arbitrary
interference. Coming from a variety of perspectives, the chapters
examine the issues of migration controls, differential resident
statuses, including temporary workers, refugees and long-term
residents, and the conditions for access to citizenship in the
light of these concerns. This book was published as a special issue
of the Critical Review of International Social and Political
Philosophy.

This is a valuable critical introduction to one of the most important topics in political philosophy. In this book, Iseult Honohan presents an authoritative and accessible account of civic republicanism, its origins and its problems and examines all the central themes of this political theory. Honohan explores questions about the sustainability of republican thought in the kind of diverse societies we live in today. Civic Republicanism will be essential reading for students of politics and philosophy.

This book examines the treatment of cultural and religious
diversity - indigenous and immigrant - on both sides of the Irish
border in order to analyse the current state of tolerance and to
consider the kinds of policies that may support integration while
respecting diversity. The first two sections focus on the spheres
of education, civic life and politics, including chapters on
specific groups (e.g. travellers and immigrants), as well as on the
communal divisions in Northern Ireland. Later chapters reflect on
the Irish experience of diversity, and consider what may be the
most appropriate approaches and discourses to deal with diversity,
whether these involve tolerance, recognition or transformative
reconciliation. This book will appeal to academics and students in
sociology, politics, education, social psychology and Irish
studies; it will also be of interest to general readers interested
in society, education and politics in Ireland, North and South. --

This volume explores the meaning of republicanism in contemporary
Ireland. While this has often been identified simply with
nationalism, the book examines the connections, comparisons and
contrasts between Irish republicanism and other strands of
republican politics: the ideology and practice of official French
republicanism, the broader European and American civic republican
tradition and the contemporary revival of this tradition of
citizenship. Academics from different disciplines, along with
statesmen and politicians from different political perspectives,
are brought together to examine the relationship of historical and
contemporary Irish republicanism to the wider republican
theoretical tradition. The book analyses the variety of, and
changes in, political positions among those parties describing
themselves as republican in Ireland in the twenty-first century and
examines the possible relevance of the ideas of the broader
republican tradition for future politics in Ireland, in the context
of multiculturalism, economic globalisation and increasing regional
and transnational governance. It will be essential reading for
anyone interested in the ideas at work in the evolution of Irish
politics, North and South. -- .
