Steve Wall, Mind, Vol.109, No.435, July 2000.'One strength of this book is the attempt to harmonize republican theory with an analysis of republican institutions.'Lee Ward, The Annals of the American Academy, Vol 567, January 2000, 'One strength of this book is the attempt to harmonize republican theory with an analysis of republican institutions.'Lee Ward, The Annals of the American Academy, Vol 567, January 2000, "Pettit offers a powerful explication and vindication of republicanism as a viable political philosophy for our times....The book is compelling because of Pettit's clarity and originality, as well as his choice of nondomination as the core of republicanism....Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates as well as more advanced readers."--Choice, Pettit follows Skinner in aligning himself with a version of republicanism that is every bit as realist and anti-perfectionist as contemporary liberalism, yet capable of offering a genuinely radical critique of its deficiencies in promoting a community of equal citizens.

Synopsis
This is the first full-length presentation of a republican alternative to the liberal and communitarian theories that have dominated political philosophy in recent years. The latest addition to the acclaimed Oxford Political Theory series, Pettit's eloquent and compelling account opens with an examination of the traditional republican conception of freedom as non-domination, contrasting this with established negative and positive views of liberty. The first part of the book traces the rise and decline of this conception, displays its many attractions, and makes a case for why it should still be regarded as a central political ideal. The second part of the book looks at what the implementation of the ideal would require with regard to substantive policy-making, constitutional and democratic design, regulatory control and the relation between state and civil society. Prominent in this account is a novel concept of democracy, under which government is exposed to systematic contestation, and a vision of state-societal relations founded upon civility and trust. Pettit's powerful and insightful new work offers not only a unified, theoretical overview of the many strands of republican ideas, but also a new and sophisticated perspective on studies in related fields including the history of ideas, jurisprudence, and criminology., New in paperback this widely acclaimed volume presents the finest account of contemporary republican principles. The book examines traditional republican conceptions of freedom, negative and positive views of liberty and the implementation of the idea., This is the first full-length presentation of a republican alternative to the liberal and communitarian theories that have dominated political philosophy in recent years. The author's eloquent, compelling account opens with an examination of the traditional republican conception of freedom as non-domination, contrasting this with established negative and positive views of liberalism. The book examines what the implementation of the ideal would imply for substantive policy-making, constitutional and democratic design, regulatory control and the relation between state and civil society. Professor Pettit's powerful and insightful new work offers not only a unified, theoretical overview of the many strands of republican ideas, it also provides a new and sophisticated perspective on studies in related fields including the history of ideas, jurisprudence, and criminology. The author had included a new postscript to this paperback edition, which offers a sketch of the crucial republican ideas, and to reinforce the argument that the republican tradition deserves more attention than it has generally received among contemporary political theorists.
