The Well-Ordered Republic

The Well-Ordered Republic by Frank Lovett

Classical and contemporary republicans offer a compelling political vision built on a commitment to promoting freedom from domination, establishing popular control over public officials, and securing the empire of law. The Well-Ordered Republic provides the most rigorous, comprehensive, and up-to-date account of republican political theory presently available, while also showing how that theory can be extended to address new issues of economic justice, workplace democracy, identity politics, emergency powers, education, migration, and foreign policy. Frank Lovett argues that our shared freedom from domination is constituted by republican institutions such as democracy, the rule of law, and the public provision of an unconditional basic income. As a public good whose continued supply depends on robust civic engagement, republican freedom is a valuable but ongoing collective achievement: all citizens must remain dedicated to shared republican institutions for their freedom to endure. Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in contemporary political theory. It is intended to be broad in scope, including original contributions to political philosophy, and also work in applied political theory. The series will contain works of outstanding quality with no restriction as to approach or subject matter. Series Editors: Will Kymlicka and David Miller.

An impressive, rigorous, and densely written book that, remarkably, achieves its ambitious aimThe Well-Ordered Republic offers intriguing positions, boasts a rigorous summary of the state of the art, and - by emphasizing republicanism's universality - pushes republican theorizing into less explored terrain. For years to come, it will inspire fruitful work and remain essential reading for anyone seriously interested in republicanism. * Andreas T. Schmidt, Ethics *
