Global Justice, Historical Justice: Looking at the Two Debates in Tandem
The debates over global and historical justice much preoccupy contemporary political theory. Yet they have not been analyzed in tandem. And this, despite the fact that a number of theoretical frameworks, principal among them contractarianism and utilitarianism, configure arguments in both debates. In this essay, I show that such arguments, as advanced by either side in each of the two debates, all rest on a set of patterned assumptions about the …

Why Political Scientists Aren't Public Intellectuals
In a New Republic cover story published three years ago entitled “Irrational Exuberance: When Did Political Science Forget about Politics?” the journalist Jonathan Cohn (1999) lamented the disappearance of a certain kind of academic—typified by the Harvard professors James Q. Wilson, Samuel Huntington and Stanley Hoffmann—from contemporary political science departments. Wilson “was more than just a scholar,” Cohn wrote, “he was a public intellect…

Beyond Quid Pro Quo: What's Wrong with Private Gain from Public Office
The longstanding debate over whether officials should be permitted to profit personally from public office has moved to the center of public discourse in the United States. As the HouseEthics Manualput it recently, it is of concern simply when an officeholder "cash[es] in on official position," regardless of whether his or her official performance was in any way impaired as a result. Although the question of private gain from public office is ric…
Political-Discourse” Analysis and the Debate Over Canada's Lobbying Legislation
Recently, students of public policy making in North America have added the analysis of “political discourse” to the tools of their trade. According to the “political discourse” school, the extent to which policy ideas gain acceptability cannot always be explained rationally in terms of their logical or empirical validity, nor instrumentally in terms of the interests they serve. Often, their careers must be accounted for, at least in part, by a de…
Corporate Electoral Activity, Constitutional Discourse, and Conceptions of the Individual
Recently, constitutional scholars have begun exploring how far constitutional discourse is governed by competing liberal and republican conceptions of the just or the good society. At the same time, political theorists have placed in doubt how far this debate rests on the metaphysical dichotomy between a radically autonomous and a radically encumbered individual. Scholars, however, have yet to investigate to what extent metaphysical conceptions o…
