Postcolonialism and Political Theory
The specific differences that are recognized, and the particular ways in which they are, have very real consequences – political, economic and cultural – for the parties involved. Postcolonial theory, in part, attempts to map and make sense of the interdependencies and asymmetries between these differences and identities. The postcolonial exists as an aftermath, as an after – after being worked over by colonialism. Criticism formed in this proces…
Pluralising political legitimacy
Does the Australian state exercise legitimate power over the indigenous peoples within its borders? To say that the state’s political decisions are legitimate is to say that it has the right to impose those decisions on indigenous peoples and that they have a (at least a prima facie) duty to obey. In this paper, I consider the general normative frameworks within which these questions are often grasped in contemporary political theory. Two dominan…
Multiculturalism
Non-Cosmopolitan Universalism
In Foundations of Modern International Thought, David Armitage provides a genealogy of the multiple foundations of international political thought. But he also enables political theorists to reflect on the nature of the pluralisation of our concepts: that is, the way various components come together (or apart) in particular circumstances to form a concept that either becomes dominant or is rendered to the margins. Armitage claims that concepts ca…
Indigenous Peoples' Rights
Indigenous peoples' rights are those moral, legal, and political rights claimed by Indigenous peoples. But who counts as an Indigenous people? This is a complex and politically sensitive question. There are two basic approaches to the question of Indigeneity. First, one can link Indigeneity to actual first residency or occupation of a particular territory. Contemporary Indigenous peoples in this case would be descendants of the earliest populatio…
AfterwordThe Normative Force of the Past
One of the most provocative suggestions this book makes is that recovering the ‘hidden transcripts’ of the legal claims made by indigenous peoples against European acts of dispossession and subjugation has important implications for our understanding of indigenous peoples’ rights today. But how should we understand the normative upshot of this broader project of providing a richer and more accurate historical picture of indigenous peoples in the …
Liberty and Government
This article investigates Barry Hindess's distinctive interpretation of liberal political thought, and especially his analysis of liberalism’s emphasis on the normative priority of liberty. For Hindess, drawing on Foucault’s lectures on the history of early modern political thought and liberalism, liberty is an important aspect of liberal thought but so too is “government,” understood in the broadest sense. Any genealogy of the liberal conception…
Another World Is Actual
There have been two distinctive aspects to James Tully's approach to the study of imperialism over the years, and both are put to work in these remarkable volumes.1 The first is his belief in two seemingly contradictory claims: (i) that imperialism is much more pervasive than usually thought (conceptually, his torically and practically); and yet (ii) that there are many more forms of resis tance to it than usually appreciated. The second is the w…
Republican Human Rights
The very idea of republican human rights, seems paradoxical. My aim in this article is to explore this disjunctive conjunction. One of the distinctive features of republican discourse, both in its civic humanist and neo-Roman variants, is the secondary status that rights are supposed to play in politics. Although the language of rights is not incommensurable with republican political thought, it is supposed to know its place. What can republican …

Rights
A naturalistic approach
A right, after all, is neither a gun, nor a one-man show. It is a relationship and a social practice, and in both of those essential aspects it is seemingly an expression of connectedness.(Michelman 1986: 91)

Jacobins and Utopians: The Political Theory of Fundamental Moral Reform , George Klosko, Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2003, pp. xii, 200. Perhaps two of the most persistent and perplexing questions in political theory are: Why should I obey the law (or the state)? And, what is the relation between human perfection and politics? Can (or mus…
The Logic of Aboriginal Rights
Are there any aboriginal rights? If there are, then what kind of rights are they? Are they human rights adapted and shaped to the circumstances of indigenous peoples? Or are they specific cultural rights, exclusive to members of aboriginal societies? In recent liberal political theory, aboriginal rights are often conceived of as cultural rights and thus as group rights. As a result, they are vulnerable to at least three kinds of objections: i) th…

Pluralism and the Hobbesian Logic of Negative Constitutionalism
According to an essentially Hobbesian account of political order, the claims of cultural and national minorities within a state to some form of constitutional or institutional recognition are morally suspect and politically undesirable. Underlying this Hobbesian logic is a particular understanding of the relation between law and politics. ‘Negative constitutionalism’ is focused primarily on limiting the damage government can do. However the pursu…
The Technical and the Political
Political Theory
Political theory has expanded, diversified, and, some would argue, fragmented. This 1997 book presents work from leading scholars in various fields and reflects key debates in political theory. Its summary discussions will ensure it becomes a key text in political theory courses. Skillfully edited by Andrew Vincent, the book includes such topics as the relationship between history and theory; utilitarianism and rational choice; republicanism; mul…
Postcolonialism and Political Theory
What does contemporary political theory have to learn from the recent outpouring of postcolonial writing? What aspects of the normative apparatus of contemporary liberal political theory, for example, are brought into focus and into question by postcolonial concerns and approaches? Despite the sometimes wilful obscurantism of postcolonial theorists, and a tendency to reduce complex arguments and traditions in political theory to easy slogans, I w…

Theory & Event - Volume 1, Issue 1, 1997
Decolonizing the rule of law
IntroductionAboriginal claims for self-government in the Americas and Australasia are distinctive for being less about secession-at least so far-than about demanding an innovative rethinking of the regulative norms and institutions within and between already established nation-states.In particular, about rethinking the constitutional bases of these countries, including the conceptions of sovereignty that underpin regulative constitutional and leg…
The Art of Political Liberalism
This article considers John Rawls's recent turn to “political liberalism.“ Rawls has revised his argument fromA Theory of Justicein order to establish a more realistic account of a “well-ordered” society; that is, creating legitimate political stability amidst a plethora of conflicting yet reasonable conceptions of the good. The aim here is to consider the extent to which Rawlsian theories are at once open to the deep diversity of late-modern pol…
