Thinking democracy in a digital age
Empowering Affected Interests
Many demands for democratic inclusion rest on a simple yet powerful idea. It's a principle of affected interests. The principle states that all those affected by a collective decision should have a say in making that decision. Yet, in today's highly globalized world, the implications of this 'All-Affected Principle' are potentially radical and far-reaching. Empowering Affected Interests brings together a distinguished group of leading democratic …
Our Declaration
This essay is part of a special issue celebrating 50 years of Political Theory. The ambition of the editors was to mark this half century not with a retrospective but with a confabulation of futures. Contributors were asked: What will political theory look and sound like in the next century and beyond? What claims might political theorists or their descendants be making in ten, twenty-five, fifty, a hundred years’ time? How might they vindicate t…
Power in modernity
In this article, Haugaard, Hayward and Heaney discuss Reed’s Power in Modernity, and the author replies. The exchanges centres on the question of whether power relations should be theorized via Reed’s concepts of rector, actor, other, and project, and on the roles of performance agency in power’s exercise. The contributors discuss several examples of political crises in modernity, including the storming of the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021
Why does publicity matter? Power, not deliberation
Why does publicity matter for democratic politics? This article challenges the deliberative view of publicity’s democratic value, making the case that publicity matters because it brings together people who stand to one another in relations of power, constraining the powerful to engage politically those whose action they affect, and enabling the oppressed to form new, oppositional identities. It underscores the centrality of the study of power to…
Disruption
This article challenges a common understanding of the role that political disruption plays in promoting large-scale change. It argues that the most basic political work disruption performs is not to win public sympathy but instead to interrupt privileged people's motivated ignorance. Drawing on examples from the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter Movements, it makes the case that successful political disruption involves three steps. First, a gro…
On structural power
This article engages Rainer Forst’s account of structural power, as elaborated in Normativity and Power: Analyzing Social Orders of Justification. Its central claim is that structural power works, not only through what Forst calls ‘justificatory narratives’, but also through institutionalized and objectified social norms. When norms are institutionalized, they define incentive structures, which people internalize as motivational systems. When the…
Responsibility and Ignorance
This essay tackles the thorny question of how to dismantle structural racial injustice. It engages Iris Marion Young's work on responsibility for structural justice. But it also draws on Charles Mills's work on what Mills calls white epistemologies of ignorance to challenge Young's emphasis on changing how racially privileged people understand their responsibilities. It makes the case that disruptive politics play a crucial role in dismantling st…
Identity politics and democratic nondomination
A Note from the Editors
A Note from the Editors
The stories politicians tell
Every political science student learns the ‘rational voter’ model of democratic politics. Political office-seekers present the electorate with packages of proposed policies. Voters then rationally
How Americans Make Race
How do people produce and reproduce identities? In How Americans Make Race, Clarissa Rile Hayward challenges what is sometimes called the 'narrative identity thesis': the idea that people produce and reproduce identities as stories. Identities have greater staying power than one would expect them to have if they were purely and simply narrative constructions, she argues, because people institutionalize identity-stories, building them into laws, r…

What Can Political Freedom Mean in a Multicultural Democracy
This essay takes as its starting point an apparent tension between theories of democratic deliberation and democratic theories of multicultural accommodation and makes the case that many multiculturalists and deliberative democrats converge on an ideal of political freedom, understood as nondomination. It argues for distinguishing two dimensions of nondomination: inter-agentive nondomination, which obtains when all participants in a power relatio…
Political Representation
Political representation lies at the core of modern politics. Democracies, with their vast numbers of citizens, could not operate without representative institutions. Yet relations between the democratic ideal and the everyday practice of political representation have never been well defined and remain the subject of vigorous debate among historians, political theorists, lawyers, and citizens. In this volume, an eminent group of scholars move for…

Bad stories
How do state actors teach citizen-subjects collective identities? In this article, the author argues that one important way they do so is by teaching subjects to weave into their personal stories of ‘who I am’ shared or public narratives of ‘who we are’. But, although story-telling is an important part of how states produce identities, it is not the only way they help reproduce them. States help reproduce identity narratives by institutionalizing…
Black Places
Black Placesi Clarissa Rile Hayward (bio) Several years ago, I interviewed a thirty-five year old Columbus, Ohio man, who self-identified as "African-American."ii His racial identity, this man told me, is "embedded in [his] mind." "[Race] was installed in my mind as a child," he explained. "You know, there's certain places you don't go. There's certain people you don't socialize with." He characterized the neighborhood in which he grew up as, "an…
Nobody to shoot? Power, structure, and agency
In this dialogue, Clarissa Hayward and Steven Lukes debate the relation among power, social structure, and human agency. The authors converge on the view that not only moral responsibility, but also political responsibility is relevant to the study of power. They disagree about how to analyze difficult cases in which some agents are clearly subject to social constraints on freedom, but no powerful actors seem responsible for their constraint
Binding problems, boundary problems
Democratic citizenship: the phrase is so familiar, it seems unremarkable. Yet “democratic citizenship” invokes two analytically distinct sets of principles, which stand in tension with one another. The phrase invokes, on the one hand, the democratic principles of collective self-determination, political equality, and inclusiveness. The democrat's most basic claim is that all who are affected by a collective norm should have a hand in helping make…
Disarmed
Disarmed: The Missing Movement for Gun Control in America. By Kristin A. Goss. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2006. 304p. $29.95. If popular political movements attract the attention of a wide range of political scientists, this is the case, to no small degree, because they seem to bridge an impossible chasm. They seem to bridge—or at least to begin to build a bridge between—on the one hand, the lofty aspirations of democrats who invoke a…
Democracy's Identity Problem
On Power and Responsibility
The article focuses on Lukes' treatment of the relation between power and responsibility. By attempting to draw a sharp distinction between power and structural constraint, I argue, Lukes unnecessarily excludes from his analysis a wide range of significant and inegalitarian social constraints on freedom. The article defends a more structural approach to the study of power, one that employs democratic evaluative standards. Power relations are more…

De-Facing Power
Political scientists tend to conceptualize power as a phenomenon that wears a "face," that is, as an instrument powerful agents use to alter the independent action of the powerless. This definition introduces into empirical analysis a series of assumptions that deflect attention from questions central to critically analyzing power relations. Students of power should "de-face" the concept by defining power as a network of social boundaries that de…

Doxa and deliberation
Recent democratic theorists have drawn on the work of the late Pierre Bourdieu to make the case that patterned inequalities in the social capacity to engage in deliberation can undermine deliberative theory’s democratic promise. They have proposed a range of deliberative democratic responses to the problem of cultural inequality, from enabling the marginalised to adopt the communicative dispositions of the dominant, to broadening the standards th…

The Difference States Make
Most contemporary theorizing that addresses questions of democracy and difference is framed by broadly constructivist claims. Yet when it comes to thinking about democratic state intervention into social relations of difference, political theorists tend to stress reactive strategies, overlooking the role that democratic states play in helping shape and reinforce social definitions of difference. Exploring the case of the construction of racialize…

The Environment”
De-Facing Power
In this major contribution to the power debate, Clarissa Rile Hayward challenges the prevailing view which treats power as something powerful people have and use. Rather than seeing it as having a 'face', she considers power as a complex network of social boundaries - norms, identities, institutions - which define both the field of action and the individual's freedom within it, for the 'powerful' and 'powerless' alike. Hayward suggests that the c…
