Biografisk notat
Yiftah Elazar is Lecturer in Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has written on Jeremy Bentham, Adam Ferguson, and Adam Smith, and is working on a book on the revolutionary republicanism of Richard Price. Geneviève Rousselière is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Duke University, North Carolina. She has published articles on Rousseau, Constant, and Kant. She is finishing a book on French republicanism.'This is a splendid collection that brings together the best contemporary work on republicanism and democracy. It offers stimulating republican reflections on populism, the common good, the economy, the workplace, feminism, and transnational politics. All essays, without exception, are first rate. Rich, sophisticated, as well as politically visionary, this is likely to become the definitive collection on republican democracy.' Cécile Laborde, University of Oxford
'Elazar and Rousselière have produced a book that features not only most of the leading neo-republican thinkers but also some of their most penetrating, yet sympathetic, critics. The result is a volume that should convince anyone who cherishes democracy of the need, practical as well as theoretical, to take republicanism seriously.' Richard Dagger, E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Chair in the Liberal Arts, University of Richmond
'Even venerable traditions of political thought die out if they are not innovatively reinterpreted and partly reinvented, answering the challenges of new times. This excellent collection of essays shows how alive, complex, and productive the republican tradition is - and how essential it is for thinking about the future of democracy.' Rainer Forst, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main
