  • The rule of rules

    Open AccessAlan HamlinARTICLEPublic Choice2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 43

    Rules are central to the constitutional political economy (CPE) approach. On this approach, rules, of a variety of types and forms, are necessary for the emergence of a political and social order, so that all genuine political order is rule-based. The central role of rules within the CPE approach is examined starting from an explicit definitional discussion of the concept of a rule and including discussion of the nature of rule-following behavior…

  • Conservative Value

    Geoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.ARTICLEThe Monist2016

    We distinguish three forms of conservatism and focus attention on the form in which conservatives identify and recognize a value not recognized by nonconservatives. Starting from an attempt to rescue conservative values by G.A. Cohen, we provide an analysis of the requirements of such a conservative position and a formulation in terms of state-relative evaluation.

  • Comprehending conservatism

    Geoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Ideologies2014Citada por: 3Referencias: 3

    Jan-Werner Müller provides a four-dimensional framework for comprehending conservatism as a political ideology. We focus on conservatism as a political philosophy, rather than an ideology, and provide more detailed analysis in order to re-assess Müller

  • Theory, Ideal Theory and the Theory of Ideals

    Open AccessAlan Hamlin, Zofia StemplowskaARTICLEPolitical Studies Review2012Citada por: 62Referencias: 27

    The recent prominence of the ideal/non-ideal debate is largely due to the fact that it offers a vocabulary in which to diagnose what many see as a key problem of political theory: its relative unwillingness to provide solutions to urgent problems facing people here and now; or for people as they are rather than as they should be. The primary aim of this article is to offer an improved understanding of the territory that the ideal/non-ideal debate…

  • Expressive Political Behaviour

    Open AccessAlan Hamlin, Colin JenningsARTICLEBritish Journal of Political…2011Citada por: 84Referencias: 78

    A growing literature has focused attention on ‘expressive’ rather than ‘instrumental’ behaviour in political settings, particularly voting. A common criticism of the expressive idea is that it is ad hoc and lacks both predictive and normative bite. No clear definition of expressive behaviour has gained wide acceptance yet, and no detailed understanding of the range of foundations of specific expressive motivations has emerged. This article provid…

  • The PPE enterprise

    Open AccessAlan HamlinARTICLEPolitics Philosophy & Economics2010

    This article characterizes politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE) as a substantive research programme as a flexible and analytic debate on the relations between the individual and society that incorporates both positive and normative analyses. This, in contrast to a view of PPE as a series of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary topics. To this end, I sketch the general shape of the research programme, it boundaries and its features, before …

  • Fixed-Term Parliaments

    Open AccessAlan HamlinARTICLEPolitics2010Referencias: 16

    Constitutional reform requires a cautious approach that draws heavily on the theory of institutions. Too often arguments for particular constitutional arrangements are one-dimensional and limited in scope and imagination. This article illustrates this theme by discussing the debate over fixed- and variable-term parliaments, and by offering a somewhat novel argument that focuses on the role of the opposition within a parliamentary system

  • Constitutions As Expressive Documents

    Geoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.CHAPTERThe Oxford handbook of political…2009

    This article looks at constitutions as expressive documents. Two concepts are the main focus of this article: the constitution and the notion of expressiveness. The article tries to clarify these concepts by appeal of a contrast, which will be between a constitution as a legal document and the more general idea of a constitution, which is envisaged by the Constitutional Political Economy (CPE). It also tries to clarify the notion of expressive ac…

  • Revisionist Public Choice Theory

    Geoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.ARTICLENew Political Economy2008Citada por: 5

    This paper owes much to discussion with several audiences including the World Public Choice Societies Meetings, Amsterdam, March 2007, and to comments from Tom Christiano, Leonard Dudley and Russell Hardin.

  • Analytic Conservatism

    Open AccessGeoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Political…2004Citada por: 15

    We propose an analytic account of dispositional conservatism that attempts to uncover a foundation of what is often taken to be an anti-foundationalist position. We identify a bias in favour of the status quo as a key component of the conservative disposition and address the question of the justification of such a conservative disposition, and the circumstances in which the widespread adoption of such a disposition might be normatively desirable.…

  • Rational Foundations of Democratic Politics

    Open AccessMichael C Munger, Stergios Skaperda et al.BOOKRational Foundations of…2003

    Democracy is widely accepted today, perhaps as never before, as the most suitable form of government. But what is democracy, and does it always produce good government? Democracy is often associated with the existence of competitive elections. But theory and experience suggest that these are not sufficient for democracy to function reasonably well. In this book, which was originally published in 2003, a number of experts from North America and Eu…

  • Democratic Devices and Desires

    Open AccessGeoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.BOOKDemocratic Devices and Desires2000

    This book, first published in 2000, offers an account of key features of modern representative democracy. Working from the rational actor tradition, it builds a middle ground between orthodox political theory and the economic analysis of politics. Standard economic models of politics emphasise the design of the institutional devices of democracy as operated by essentially self-interested individuals. This book departs from that model by focusing …

  • On Political Representation

    Open AccessGeoffrey Brennan, Geoffrey H Brennan et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Political…1999Citada por: 19

    An essential feature of political representation is that a mediating assembly is set between the citizenry and political decision making. Representation involves indirect decision making or agency. Rational actor political theory often assumes representation in order to focus on problems of a principal–agent kind, but offers only relatively weak arguments for representation. We offer an alternative argument for representation that builds on our b…
