Should social and political practices play a role in the
justification of normative political principles? In several
sub-domains of political theory, theorists have suggested that
practices constrain principles in various ways. This book joins
five key debates in the current theoretical literature that have
been largely taking place in isolation and identifies common
strands of argument and their shared problems. By illuminating
these connections and cross-fertilising key debates in the current
theoretical literature, it develops a unified way forward for
practice-based political theory.

given the lively contestations in the five scrutinised debates with
regard to how the relationship between social and political
practices and normative political principles best should be
understoodEmbraces a comprehensive approach to the fundamental
question of how social and political practices constrain normative
political principles of different kindsCritically assesses
arguments for different kinds of constraints in current debates
