Introduction
The end of the Cold War ushered in a new era of liberal internationalism — of democracy, free markets, the rule of law, and individual human rights on a global scale. In this new world, states cooperated peacefully with each other through international institutions and were held in check by ‘global civil society’, the network of newly founded transnational NGOs. Now, after the killing fields and failed utopias of the twentieth century, was the ti…
Democratic Multiplicity
This edited volume argues that democracy is broader and more diverse than the dominant state-centered, modern representative democracies, to which other modes of democracy are either presumed subordinate or ignored. The contributors seek to overcome the standard opposition of democracy from below (participatory) and democracy from above (representative). Rather, they argue that through differently situated participatory and representative practic…

Beyond Boomerang
Families of mankind’
The League of Nations’ long term interest in the traffic in women and children mirrored, in key ways, what I call the ‘familial internationalism’ of some of its most influential British founders. Grounded in their understanding of the British Empire as an institution uniquely able to reconcile ‘liberty and self-government’ with the denial of liberty and self-government to the colonies, this vision of internationalism recast nations as cultural ‘f…
Urgent History
This article argues for the recovery and re-incorporation of lost voices and debates into the history of political thought by focusing on the issue of sovereignty. It begins by examining why such a narrow understanding of the canon has come to dominate the sub-discipline and argues for critical approaches that treat the past as a “contested terrain” rather than an unfolding plot. It then turns to early twentieth-century Britain as an example of a…
Falling in Love with Athens
This chapter interrogates Donald Kagan’s classical scholarship of the last forty years, focusing on the way Kagan shapes his narrative of Athenian rise and fall to tell the story of American greatness and warn of its potential decline. An immensely productive historian of ancient Athens and the Peloponnesian War, Kagan is also an activist associated with neo-conservative think tanks. Critics have long observed that Kagan’s readings of Thucydides’…
Empires Without Imperialism
For over two centuries, liberal apologists for empire in Britain and America have been plagued by the contradictions between political liberalism and the exclusive, anti-democratic, and violent practices of imperialism—contradictions that become particularly obvious during periods of perceived imperial crisis. This book interrogates the complicated rhetoric of several pro-imperial, public intellectuals from both the late British Empire and contem…

States Are Not People
States Are Not People
This essay examines the relationship between democratic theory and historical critiques of state sovereignty by analyzing Harold Laski’s geneological approach to the history of political thought. This approach led Laski to conclude that the apparently “unified” character of soveriegn statehood made differences within states invisible, rendered similarities across states meaningless, obscured the liberal state’s connections to capitalism, and supp…
