International Political Theory

This collection reviews Hegel in relation to the key themes of history, politics and philosophy. It shows how Hegel is a historical thinker, whose theories are
developed via a philosophical consideration of historical development at a number of levels. Hegel’s expertise in the history of philosophy leads him to
recognize the distinctiveness of the present, while building upon philosophical predecessors. This perspective sheds light on Hegel’s distinctive reading of the
political, which is both insightful and timely. Hegel’s reading of political economy emerges out of his conception of modernity and remains relevant to contemporary conceptions of civil society. Likewise Hegel’s focus upon the international remains of great moment in that he shows the interplay between internal and external forms of sovereignty. Hegel’s global perspective on international politics remains of relevance today and it bears upon his understanding of internal state sovereignty and history. This volume ends with a synoptic reading of Hegel today, which reviews him critically in the light of his problematic reading of race, sex and Eurocentrism. The essays in this volume reflect Gary Browning’s engagement with Hegel over a number of years, and, collectively, they show how Hegel’s political theory is linked to his reading of history and philosophy, and they make a case for the continued relevance of Hegel’s political and international theory.

Hegel on History, Politics and Philosophy

This book delves into the core debates of criminal law, examining fundamental principles such as legality, protection of legally protected goods, culpability, and proportionality. It reinterprets these principles through a lens of a Rawlsian theory of justice, proposing them as deontological liberalistic principles of justice. The book explores the influence of enlightenment thought and social contract theory which have sophisticatedly evolved so far on criminal law, suggesting that these principles can be derived from a hypothetical agreement under fair participation conditions.
Covering a wide range of topics, the book addresses human dignity, culpability, and the prohibition of analogy in criminal law interpretation. It engages with classic and ongoing debates, including free will, legal indeterminacy, and the jurisprudential implication of philosophies of Wittgenstein and Gödel. Additionally, it critically examines some theoretical issues, including collective guilt, criminal liability of electronic person, psychopathic offender, and conscientious objectors, as well as such doctrinal issues as mistaken self-defence and criminal complicity. A chapter on the origins of the penal system provides an in-depth account based on ancient Near Eastern customs and the Hammurabi Code, enriched by the latest evolutionary research. This interdisciplinary approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the nature of punishment.
“In this wide-ranging and ambitious work, Seong Jo Ahn introduces criminal lawyers to an extraordinary range of theoretical ideas and perspectives on the criminal law. New light is shed on familiar doctrines and principles, in a way that will become a debating point for years to come.”

A Theory of Criminal Law, Volume 1

The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller on our search for love 'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie Nelson Shon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye's experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled. In Love in Exile, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.

The History of Modern Political Philosophy

The Rise and Fall of Rational Control

Thinking with Arendt

The collection&nbsp;Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida: Writing between Politics, Poetics, and Philosophy&nbsp;addresses the convergence of insight in the works of two of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th&nbsp;century. Both Arendt and Derrida have played a decisive role in reorienting the concerns and methods of philosophy, political theory, and literary studies in recent decades, with implications that extend across the humanities.&nbsp;This volume is the first collection of readings&nbsp;on the relationship between the two thinkers from an interdisciplinary perspective that encompasses political and critical theory, aesthetics, literary theory, and philosophy.&nbsp;It presents a wealth of approaches for thinking about the pressing ethical and political questions that their work raises.Despite notable differences in style, approach, frame of reference, and disciplinary background Arendt and Derrida share a common attempt to challenge the predominant methods and questions of philosophy in order to develop a radically new approach to politics, language, and textual interpretation. Today, the reception of Arendt's thought has moved beyond political theory and expanded into other areas, including literary studies, while Derrida's writings are reverberating in a growing number of disciplines and outside the academy in activism, art, and human rights discourse. As they disrupt the borders of their respective fields, surprising resonances as well as productive dissonances, begin to emerge in their re-reading of the concepts of sovereignty and democracy, justice and judgment, inheritance, the relations of law to violence, language and the "mother tongue," metaphor, poetry and poetic writing, and the peculiar realm of the&nbsp;in-between. Most profoundly, the current volume argues, Derrida and Arendt's respective philosophical projects cross paths in their shared effort to&nbsp;write, rewrite and deconstruct the political.This collection of essays proposes that reading Arendt and Derrida side by side is not only justified, but urgently needed because both thinkers open philosophy to its other and to the worldly realm of living, with the ultimate aim of rethinking what we mean by politics, language, and writing. In turning toward aesthetics and the imaginary, Arendt and Derrida seek to further modes of thinking-"difference-thinking," "non-tyrannical thinking"-that are political precicely because they are plural. Together, the essays collected in&nbsp;Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida: Writing between Politics, Poetics, and Philosophy&nbsp;demonstrate that their as-yet-unwritten dialogue yields decisive ways of theorizing our present moment of global crisis and transformation.Joining together internationally renowned scholars as well as emerging researchers from all over the globe, including Peg Birmingham, Robert Eaglestone, Matthias Flatscher, Jennifer Gaffney, Bonnie Honig, Jen Hui Bon Hoa, James Martel, Nassima Sahraoui, Jana Schmidt, and Magdalena Zolkos, this volume offers a wide-ranging discussion of the intersections of Arendt and Derrida's work.

Writing Between Politics, Poetics, and Philosophy

Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida

Politicians have failed us. But democracy doesn't have to. Bought by special interests, detached from real life, obsessed with re-election. Politicians make big promises, deliver little to nothing, and keep the game rigged in their favour. But what can we do? With disarming clarity and a deep sense of urgency, acclaimed political theorist Hélène Landemore argues that electoral politics is broken but democracy isn't. We've just been doing it wrong. Drawing on ancient Athenian practices and contemporary citizens' assemblies, Landemore champions an alternative approach that is alive, working, and growing around the world: civic lotteries that select everyday people to govern, not as career politicians but as temporary stewards of the common good. When regular citizens come together in this way, they make smarter, fairer, more forward-thinking decisions, often bringing out the best in one another. Witnessing this process firsthand, Landemore has learned that democracy should be like a good party where even the shyest guests feel welcome to speak, listen, and be heard. With sharp analysis and real-world examples, drawing from her experience with deliberative processes in France and elsewhere, Landemore shows us how to move beyond democracy as a spectator sport, embracing it as a shared practice-not just in the voting booth but in shaping the laws and policies that govern our lives. If you've ever felt powerless, Politics Without Politicians will show you how we can take back democracy.

The Case for Citizen Rule

Politics Without Politicians

Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats. Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?

A Wake-up Call

This is Fascism

Populism and World Politics

Mit dem Subjektbegriff wird auf eine logisch nicht hintergehbare Entität verwiesen, die sich aus den Überlegungen einer konstruktivistischen Erkenntnistheorie ableiten lässt. Gewonnen wird damit aber zunächst nur die Idee einer reinen Subjektivität, die nicht unmittelbar für gesellschaftstheoretische Fragen fruchtbar ist. Dies soll mit dem Fokus auf die Wirtschaft korrigiert werden. Die zentralen Fragen sind, wie sich die Wirtschaft auf der Grundlage einer radikalen Subjekttheorie konzipieren lässt, und welchen Beitrag eine solche Konzeption für die Entwicklung einer Gesellschaftstheorie leisten kann. Das übergeordnete Ziel dieser Überlegungen ist das Projekt einer Kritischen Theorie der Gesellschaft, zu dem der Subjektbegriff den Maßstab der Kritik beisteuern soll.

This book offers a panoramic overview of the history of legislation in the People’s Republic of China, presenting the compelling story of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and its Standing Committee in their dedication to building a socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics across thirteen major areas of legislation. By illustrating how China’s constitutions, laws, and regulations have evolved, and under what guiding principles, the book provides authoritative and insightful interpretations of the theory of the socialist legal system while documenting milestone developments in the rule of law. It serves as both a valuable academic resource and an accessible reference for general readers interested in China’s legislative process.

“Step aside Tom Friedman, Sam Huntington, and Amy Chua. Franklin Foer’s dark and witty tale of the soccer world reveals the meaning of globalization in all its joys and horrors.”—Robert KaganJust in time for the 2026 World Cup in North America—a reissue of the bestselling sports classic, featuring a new preface from the author.With the 2026 World Cup in all three nations of North America, the power and scope of soccer has truly become global. In this remarkably insightful, wide-ranging work, Franklin Foer argues that soccer is much more than a game, or even a way of life. It is a unique window into the crosscurrents of modern globalization, with all of its benefits and pitfalls. Soccer clubs don’t represent geographic areas; they stand for social classes and political ideologies. Unlike baseball or tennis, soccer is freighted with ancient hatreds and history. It’s a sport with real stakes—a catalyst capable of ruining regimes and launching liberation movements.Foer takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shattering myths and dire predictions. Instead of destroying local cultures, as the left warned, globalization has revived tribalism. Far from the triumph of capitalism that the right anticipated, it has entrenched corruption. From Brazil to Bosnia, Italy to Iraq, How Soccer Explains the World is an eye-opening chronicle of how a beautiful sport and its fanatical followers can illuminate the fault lines of a society, whether it’s terrorism, poverty, anti-Semitism, authoritarianism, or radical Islam—issues that continue to affect all of us. At a time when globalization is under attack and many Americans yearn for retrenchment and retreat from the world, this remarkable book—filled with blazing intelligence, colorful characters, wry humor, and an equal passion for soccer and humanity—continues to make sense of our troubled times.

Collegium Politicum

The book deals with the concept of citizenship in ancient political theory and practice. It explores this phenomenon through the liminal category of non-citizens, which typically included women, slaves, freed-men/freedwomen and settled aliens/metics. It examines the range of statuses that constituted the ancient city through the lens of exclusionary and inclusionary tendencies, and situates them within ideological frameworks that theoretically underpin both differentiation and integration strategies applied to these groups. A comprehensive treatment of the subject is based on the perspectives of philosophy, rhetoric and law, with an emphasis on the Pythagoreans, the Sophists, Plato, Aristotle and Cicero.
