Thucydides on Politics
Thucydides famously declared his work to be 'a possession for all time', and so it has proved to be, as each age and generation has seen new things to admire in it and take from it. In the last hundred years, Thucydides has been interpreted and invoked in support of many different positions in politics, political theory and international relations. Geoffrey Hawthorn offers a new and highly original reading, one that sees him as neither simply an …

Thucydides and the Modern World
The ancient Greek historian Thucydides has had an enormous impact on modern historiography, political theory, international relations and strategic studies, but this influence has never been properly studied. This book brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the different facets of Thucydides' modern reception and influence, from the birth of political theory in Renaissance Europe to the rise of scientific history …
Statecraft and Security
In the Beginning Was the Deed
Bernard Williams is remembered as one of the most brilliant and original philosophers of the past fifty years. Widely respected as a moral philosopher, Williams began to write about politics in a sustained way in the early 1980s. There followed a stream of articles, lectures, and other major contributions to issues of public concern--all complemented by his many works on ethics, which have important implications for political theory. This new col…
Liberalisation and Democracy in Latin America
Guillermo O'Donnell's now famous complaint is that Latin America in the past two decades or so has at best had democracies of a 'delegative' kind. Presidents and other politicians come to power in competitive elections and nominally represent. But they do so in societies in which institutions lack that degree of independence from each other and from the state that is held to be an essential defence against government power and in which individual…
Running the World on Windows
Reviewing Daniele Archibugi’s case for a ‘cosmopolitical democracy’ in NLR 4, Geoffrey Hawthorn argues nation-states can neither be wished away, nor shadowed in parallel by a global civil society: they remain the Hobbesian precondition of a realistic politics, which Kantian prospects set aside at their peril
Liberalism since the Cold War
Many expected that after the Cold War, there would be peace, order, increasing prosperity in expanding markets and the extension and eventual consolidation of civil and political rights. There would be a new world order, and it would in these ways be liberal. In international politics, the United States would be supreme. It would through security treaties command the peace in western Europe and east Asia; through its economic power command it in …
Pinochet
Against the background of the Pinochet affair, the author considers that a new era of international politics is in the process of being created. The House of Lords’ ruling which has allowed extradition procedures against the former Chilean dictator, is understood as a formidable and groundbreaking decision in international law based on the defence of human rights against crimes committed by authoritarian and unlawful rulers. The decision taken un…
The Politics of Postmodernity
In his study Modernity and the Holocaust, Zygmunt Bauman contrasts the hopes and expectations of the modernising world of the nineteenth century with the real outcomes of the twentieth century, where the very conditions of modernity have led to the mass destruction of humanity and of those early hopes for the betterment of humankind. This volume explores the possibilities left to those once modernising societies, not only in terms of the worlds t…

How to Ask for Good Government
Good government matters, and should be asked for. But it is mistaken to suppose that it necessarily consists pursuing a particular policy to realize a particular outcome in conditions of competitive democracy. Good government is not best thought of in terms of the outcomes of policy or as satisfying one kind of constitutional or institutional condition rather than another. It is that government which is best suited in the circumstances to maximiz…

Plausible Worlds
Possibilities haunt history. The force of our explanations of events turns on the alternative possibilities these explanations suggest. It is these possible worlds which give us our understanding; and in human affairs we decide them by practical rather than theoretical judgement. In his widely acclaimed account of the role of counterfactuals in explanation, Geoffrey Hawthorn deploys extended examples from history and modern times to defend his ar…

Explaining Human Fertility
Recent attempts at a sociological explanation of various aspects of fertility in industrial societies have, with two partial exceptions, failed, and for three reasons: they have placed too great a reliance on survey methods, they have ignored the causal importance of people's intentions, and they have eschewed theory. Recent developments in population theory, stressing the idea of self-regulation, can provide a sociological model with which some …

This is a brief attempt to confront the belief that we must try to recover the meaning of an agent's actions (in this case the meaning of a past agent's intellectual actions) by trying to recover his intentions in those actions with the belief that each generation writes history from its own point of view; and to ask what such a confrontation implies for a history of sociology.1 1 shall argue that although we must indeed take notice of what the s…

Some social determinants of recent trends in British fertility
The contrast in birth rates in England and Wales between the periods on either side of the peak in 1964 is described and its components discussed. The drop after 1964 is mainly due to a drop in marital fertility at all ages, and especially the youngest. There is, however, as yet no evidence for a fall in the completed fertility of recent cohorts although their birth intervals are clearly lengthening. The mechanisms of such a change are described …
