The King’s three bodies
Constitutional monarchy carries less risk of personal tyranny than its absolutist counterpart, but it lacks the increment in potential efficacy of uniting judgment, choice, authority and power to act in a single will and intelligence. What differentiates constitutional monarchy from a republic needs to be something more substantial and less debilitating than mystificatory and archaic modes of dress. Any clear promise it could offer must rest not,…

Crisis of Democracy or Crises in Democracies
It is a disabling error in political interpretation to conceive regime forms as displaying causal characteristics which extend determinately beyond the preconditions for applying them to the world or identifying them within it. Western democracy can reasonably be thought of as a regime form at all only insofar as it is recognized now to be as clearly instantiated in East, South East and South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central and South Americ…
Symposium on Melissa Lane’s Of Rule and Office
The Oppens
Every artist has their last works, but not all are “late works,” as theorized by Edward Said. By revisiting George Oppen’s late poems, I challenge established preconceptions about late-life creativity that have typically emphasized social withdrawal, despair, and finality in his work. Emphasis placed on lateness, I argue, obscures material conditions of textual production, particularly coauthoring literary activities. The Oppens work together to …
Verdade, confiança e manipulação da impressão na legitimidade democrática
Na história intelectual do Ocidente a democracia foi vista em geral com medo ou com desprezo. Com o passar do tempo, os países da Europa foram, com distintos ritmos, aceitando a democracia como a melhor forma de institucionalizar a representação do povo nas instituições estatais e de organizá-las para assegurar a deliberação e escolha política de seus cidadãos. No entanto este processo foi difícil e não isento de problemas de complexa resolução. …

Setting the People Free
"Why does democracy--as a word and as an idea--loom so large in the political imagination, though it has so often been misused and misunderstood? Setting the People Free starts by tracing the roots of democracy from an improvised remedy for a local Greek difficulty 2,500 years ago, through its near extinction, to its rebirth amid the struggles of the French Revolution. Celebrated political theorist John Dunn then charts the slow but insistent met…
The Challenge of Populism
Populism is not a determinate political phenomenon, but a heuristic category deployed to diagnose the sources of danger to well established representative democracy through the workings of its core institutions. As a political charge, populism is deployed by defenders of established parties to denounce interlopers who threaten them at the ballot box and in less formal settings. When actualised, it is a natural political retribution for government…
Entretien
Resumé L’entretien avec John Dunn est destiné à présenter au public français le grand politiste britannique dont l’oeuvre est si mal connue dans notre pays. Après un bref rappel de sa carrière, Dunn est invité à s’exprimer sur sa méthode en histoire des idées, sa façon d’interroger la politique et ses derniers travaux sur la démocratie dans le monde
‘For God, Emperor, and Country!’ The Evolution of Ethiopia’s Nineteenth-Century Army
Ethiopian soldiers were very different from troops raised by other African states. Traditionally, Ethiopian armies maintained an all-round defence with the commander and his best troops occupying the gadam , or &s;central place&s;. Such picked forces, called elfign ashkar, obtained the best weapons and training. Although brave to the point of foolhardiness in previous battles with the Egyptians and British, by the 1870s most Ethiopians were famil…
Modern Revolutions and Beyond
John Dunn, FBA, is emeritus professor of political theory at King’s College, University of Cambridge. His work on revolution began in 1972 with the publication of his landmark volume, Modern Revolutions: An Introduction to the Analysis of a Political Phenomenon. A second edition was published in 1989, and the volume has since been translated into several foreign languages. Alongside revolution, Dunn’s thought has examined questions of regime coll…
The Impact of Political Theory
Any systematic understanding of politics requires theory: an organised, if not necessarily self-conscious way of seeing and thinking about it. The point of studying and teaching about politics in universities is educational: to help others to understand it better and bring that understanding into their own lives and the lives of the communities to which they belong. Political theorists have a distinctive responsibility to recognise this and show …
Legitimacy And Democracy In The World Today
It is a pressing political feature of the majority of existing states that they claim the legitimacy on which they unite in insisting as a free gift from the ruled to the rulers. A major shared ideological assumption of the regimes of the West is that they (unlike many others today, including some of their key strategic allies) realise that claim in practice, in a correct understanding and a reliable and well institutionalized manner, by deriving…

Democracy, Accountability, and Representation
This book examines whether the mechanisms of accountability characteristic of democratic systems are sufficient to induce the representatives to act in the best interest of the represented. The first part of the volume focuses on the role of elections, distinguishing different ways in which they may cause representation. The second part is devoted to the role of checks and balances, between the government and the parliament as well as between the…
The significance of Hobbes’s conception of power
Hobbes held distinctive views about the role of power in organizing and directing human life and posing the central problems of politics. His English vocabulary (unlike his Latin vocabulary) conflates conceptions of force, instrumental capacity, right and entitlement in a single term. It remains controversial how far he changed his conception of human nature over the last four decades of his intellectual life from a more to a less egoistic versio…

Por dois séculos, a experiência da França em 1789 transformou a relativamente anódina categoria da revolução num eixo obrigatório do juízo político em todo o mundo. Nessa longa travessia, ela serviu mais insistente e efetivamente para definir a lealdade e a antipatia políticas do que para dirigir a agência política para fins bem definidos e politicamente acessíveis. O que a equipou para fazer isso foi uma imagem das exigências imperiosas e abrang…
Capitalist democracy
What History Can Show
It is no easy matter to do justice to Locke or any other capable seventeenth century thinker: to judge them in terms which are wholly appropriate to them, but which also give due weight to our own necessarily very different needs and preoccupations. Yet if equality is a normative relation which holds in time as well as space (and not a purely pragmatic relation which characteristically fails to hold anywhere at all), there must be a justice which…

The Dilemma of Humanitarian Intervention
There are at Least Three Possible Types of View about the justifiability of the use of force by states or private individuals on behalf of other private individuals or groups who are the victims of brutal and gratuitous coercion by another state. The first type of view is that no human being, and afortiorino state, can be justified in using force under any circumstances and for any purpose, because (andonlybecause) force is an intrinsic evil. Thi…
The Story of an African Working Class
This seminal work tells the story of Ghana's gold miners, one of the oldest and most militant groups of workers in Africa. It is a story of struggle against exploitative mining companies, repressive governments, and authoritarian trade union leaders. Drawing on a wide range of original sources, including previously secret government and company records, Jeff Crisp explores the changing nature of life and work in the gold mines from the colonial e…

The Paradoxes of Racism
IN ITS MOST ELABORATELY ARTICULATED FORM RACISM IS AN array of theoretical views about the epistemic clarity and human import of the practice of individuating human populations in terms of their presumed biological descent. In this form the term can refer with some precision, and largely independently of context, to a quite specific body of beliefs. In far more diffuse and far less theoretical forms, however, and in forms which are also far more …

The Political Thought of John Locke
This study provides a comprehensive reinterpretation of the meaning of Locke's political thought. John Dunn restores Locke's ideas to their exact context, and so stresses the historical question of what Locke in the Two Treatises of Government was intending to claim. By adopting this approach, he reveals the predominantly theological character of all Locke's thinking about politics and provides a convincing analysis of the development of Locke's …

Modern Revolutions, An Introduction to the Analysis of a Political Phenomenon
Many political regimes today draw such legitimacy as they have from a revolution: the destruction of an existing political elite and its replacement by a different group or groups drawn from inside the same society. A large part of the ideological dispute in world politics has come in consequence to turn on an interpretation of the character of revolutions as political and social events. It is extremely difficult to separate ideological assessmen…

Political Obligation in its Historical Context
What sort of commitments do human beings have good reason to acknowledge to one another and to the social units (family, tribe, state) to which they belong? Is the sovereign authority of the state anywhere or everywhere a true moral authority, or is it simply a coercive capacity of varying force, reposing on a range of effectively touted false beliefs? What political obligations, if any, do men truly have? The central questions of political philo…

The Cardiff cervical cytology study. Enumeration and definition of population and initial acceptance rates
The Cardiff Cervical Cytology Study began in 1965. Its primary aim was to evaluate screening for neoplasia of the cervix uteri. The study population was all ever-married women, aged 25--69, resident within the Cardiff City area. The basic objective was that all such women should be screened three times. The population was enumerated by house-to-house visiting of the entire city and a register of eligible women was compiled. The first round of vis…

Are the evident weaknesses of socialist politics in all its varieties likely to lead to its disappearance from modern political activity in the readily imaginable future?' These are the questions John Dunn faces …
