Oligarchy and Political Modernity
Whose crisis? Which democracy? Notes on the current political conjuncture
Democracy and the poor
Carl Schmitt's postcolonial imagination
Democracy and the Politics of the Extraordinary
Democracia constituinte
O artigo busca discutir a democracia, tomando-a em sua dimensão mais radical, ou seja, como espaço e forma de relações de poder constituinte do povo. De outro lado, recorda que conceitual e analiticamente nascem juntos o princípio da soberania do povo e o do poder permanente de se constituir. A isto se une uma analogia conceitual entre poder constituinte e democracia à medida que ambos se referem e - não apenas isto - descrevem a ação coletiva de…
Democracy and the Politics of the Extraordinary
An Anomaly? Some Reflections on the Greek December 2008
Democracy and the Politics of the Extraordinary
Although the modern age is often described as the age of democratic revolutions, the subject of popular founding has not captured the imagination of contemporary political thought. Most of the time, democratic theory and political science treat as the object of their inquiry normal politics, institutionalized power, and consolidated democracies. This study shows why it is important for democratic theory to rethink the question of democracy's begi…
Liberal Beginnings
The book examines the origins and development of the modern liberal tradition and explores the relationship between republicanism and liberalism between 1750 and 1830. The authors consider the diverse settings of Scotland, the American colonies, the new United States, and France and examine the writings of six leading thinkers of this period: Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, James Madison, Thomas Paine, Germaine de Staël, and Benjamin Constant. The boo…

The Tyranny of Dictatorship
The article examines the inaugural encounter of the Greek theory of tyranny and the Roman institution of dictatorship. Although the twentieth century is credited for fusing the tyrant and the dictator into one figure/concept, I trace the origins of this conceptual synthesis in a much earlier historical period, that of the later Roman Republic and the early Principate, and in the writings of two Greek historians of Rome, Dionysius of Halicarnassus…
Constitutional Failure
Constitutional Failure: Carl Schmitt in Weimar. By Ellen Kennedy. Durham: Duke University Press, 2004. 272p. $79.95 cloth, $22.95 paper. Carl Schmitt's 1933 involvement with national socialism constitutes a frequent interpretative entry point into his work. From there, his pre-Weimar as well as his post–World War II writings become logically implicated with his infamous role as the Third Reich's “Crown Jurist.” It is the merit of Ellen Kennedy to…
The basic norm and democracy in Hans Kelsen’s legal and political theory
Hans Kelsen refused to develop a democratic theory of the basic norm. Given that he expounded a strong distinction between law and politics as two separate scientific disciplines he consistently argued against any attempt to politicize legal science and corrupt its object of cognition. As a result, there has been very little discussion of the basic norm in relation to his democratic theory. This article attempts to fill this gap by tracing the re…
The Republic of the Moderns
The relationship between republicanism and liberalism has emerged as a central issue for students of political thought. Neo-republican scholars in particular have advanced a stark conceptual opposition between two competing intellectual and political projects, and have claimed that liberalism decisively defeated and replaced republicanism. By contrast, in exploring the writings of Thomas Paine and James Madison, this article shows how they initia…
Politics, Metaphysics, and Death
The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben is having an increasingly significant impact on Anglo-American political theory. His most prominent intervention to date is the powerful reassessment of sovereignty and the politics of life and death laid out in his multivolume Homo Sacer project. Agamben argues that in both the modern world and the ancient, politics inevitably involves a sovereign decision that bans some individuals from the political and …

Back to Adorno
From the Act to the Decision
There is much disagreement amongmany commentators of HannahArendt’s work aboutwhether her contributions to politics and philosophy contain a clandestine version of decisionism or, by contrast, represent an explicit attempt to break away from the elements of voluntarism, arbitrariness, and irrationality, which are considered to be inherent to any theory of the decision. Despite the many disagreements that set apart these two interpretations of Are…
Feet of Clay? Reflections on Hardt's and Negri's Empire
Charismatic Politics and the Symbolic Foundations of Power in Max Weber
From this one can deduce the importance of the cultural aspect, even in practical (collective) activity. An historical act can only be performed by collective man, and this presupposes the attainment of a cultural-social unity through which a multiplicity of dispersed wills, with heterogeneous aims, are welded together with a single aim, on the basis of an equal and common conception of the world, both general and particular, operating in transit…
The Rhetoric of the Market
We probe the connections linking the market, speech, and sympathy in the work of Adam Smith, stressing how individuals strive for social esteem and ethical credit while competing in markets. We demonstrate how Smith approached speech and rhetoric as constituting attributes of markets, the modern analogue of previous institutional foundations for social order. Thus, markets are not simply, or exclusively, arenas for the instrumental quest by compe…
The Politics of Autonomy and the Challenge of Deliberation
Contemporary Anglo-American political thought is witnessing a revival of theories of deliberative democracy. The principle of public argumentation, according to which the legitimation of a general norm is predicated upon a rational and open dialog among all those affected by this norm, constitutes their common underlying assumption. This assumption is itself grounded in the metatheoretical claim that arguing is the defining activity of a demos of…

Hegemonic sovereignty
This article argues that Schmitt's concept of sovereignty and Gramsci's notion of hegemony represent two distinct variations on a single theme, namely the idea of the political as the original instituting moment of society. Both Schmitt and Gramsci focused on the sources, conditions, content, and scope of the originating power of a collective will. While the former located it in the constituent power of the sovereign people, the latter placed it …

Fighting the Wrong Enemy
Reponse a la critique de l'oeuvre psychanalytique et politique de Castoriadis developpee par E. V. Wolfenstein (in «Political theory», 24, 1996, pp. 706-28) dans le cadre de son compte-rendu de l'ouvrage de J. Whitebook intitule «Perversion and utopia» (1995). Examinant la triple distinction du soi (psyche, individu social, sujet), ainsi que la question de l'absence du terme eurocentrisme chez Withebook, l'A. montre que la critique de Wolfenstein…
