Contemporary Liberal Constitutional Theory
This chapter presents an interview with Bruce Ackerman, the Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University. He is recognized for his work in political philosophy, constitutional law, and public policy. Ackerman is a preeminent liberal theorist. His work comes out of the tradition of John Rawls, one of his tutors at Harvard. Topics covered during the interview include his undergraduate training in government and philosophy at H…

Is Britain ready for a constitutional convention? A rejoinder
Why Britain Needs a Written Constitution—and Can't Wait for Parliament to Write One
The lecture explores basic constitutional choices confronting post‐Brexit Britain, emphasising dilemmas generated by Irish, Scottish, and Welsh demands for home rule. It argues that only a specially elected Constitutional Convention, independent of Parliament, has the capacity and legitimacy to hammer out a written constitution that tries to resolve these dilemmas in a serious way. Once the Convention acts, its proposal should be submitted for ap…
Voting with Dollars
In this provocative book, two leading law professors challenge the existing campaign reform agenda and present a new initiative that avoids the mistakes of the past. Bruce Ackerman and Ian Ayres build on the example of the secret ballot and propose a system of secret donation booths” for campaign contributions. They unveil a plan in which the government provides each voter with a special credit card account containing fifty Patriot dollars” for p…
Social Justice in the Liberal State
Certain to become the most important work in political theory since John Rawls's A Theory of Justice, this book presents a brilliantly original, compelling vision of a just society-a world in which each of us may live his own life in his own way without denying the same right to others. Full of provocative discussions of issues ranging from education to abortion, it makes fascinating reading for anyone concerned with the future of the liberal dem…

Three Paths to Constitutionalism – and the Crisis of the European Union
There are three paths to constitutionalism in the modern world. Under the first, revolutionary outsiders use the constitution to commit their new regime to the principles proclaimed during their previous struggle. India, South Africa, Italy and France have followed this path. Under the second, establishment insiders use the constitution to make strategic concessions to disrupt revolutionary movements before they can gain power. Britain provides p…

Reviving Democratic Citizenship
Many of our inherited civic institutions are dead or dying. We need an ambitious reform program to revive democratic life. This essay advances a four-pronged 'citizenship agenda': (1) a campaign finance initiative granting each voter fifty 'patriot dollars' to fund candidates and political parties of his or her choice; (2) a proposal for a new national holiday, Deliberation Day, held before each national election, enabling citizens to deliberate …

Before the Next Attack
Terrorist attacks regularly trigger the enactment of repressive laws, setting in motion a vicious cycle that threatens to devastate civil liberties over the twenty-first century. In this clear-sighted book, Bruce Ackerman peers into the future and presents an intuitive, practical alternative. He proposes an constitution that enables government to take extraordinary actions to prevent a second strike in the short run while prohibiting permanent me…

Les pouvoirs d'exception à l'âge du terrorisme
Professeur de droit et de sciences politiques aux États-Unis, l'auteur propose ici un dispositif particulier, pensé pour son pays mais transposable ailleurs, permettant d'éviter de conférer sous le coup d'une attaque terroriste des pouvoirs spéciaux sans contrôle au chef de l'exécutif. Comment autoriser le gouvernement à réagir dans l'urgence sans signer un blanc-seing risquant de dériver vers un état d'exception sans contrôle
The Emergency Constitution
Terrorist attacks will be a recurring part of our future. The balance of technology has shifted, making it possible for a small band of zealots to wreak devastation where we least expect it-not on a plane next time, but with poison gas in the subway or a biotoxin in the water supply. The attack of September 11 is the prototype for many events that will litter the twentyfirst century. We should be looking at it in a diagnostic spirit: What can we …
Why Stakeholding
Professors Ackerman and Alstott contrast their proposal for stakeholding with Philippe Van Parijs's proposal for a universal basic income. InThe Stakeholder Society (1999), Ackerman and Alstott proposed that the federal government give all U.S. citizens an $80,000 grant as they reach adulthood. The program's revenue cost is to be funded by an annual wealth tax of 2 percent and a 'payback' requirement at death. Although stakeholding and basic inco…

Reforming Environmental Law
In 1971, Ezra Mishan brilliantly satirized the views of a Dr. Pangloss, who argued that a world of largely unregulated pollution was "optimal" because cleanup would involve enormous transaction costs.' Less than 15 years later, Professor Latin uses the same Panglossian argument to rationalize the current regulatory status quo.2 He not only accepts but endorses our extraordinarily crude, costly, litigious and counterproductive system of technology…

What is Neutral about Neutrality?
Neutrality: a fighting word. Only neuters can be Neutral in politics. The fool who yearns for Neutrality indulges a special kind of silliness-from which libertarians and communards, Maoists and Straussians are mercifully immune. There can be no politics without vision, no philosophy without commitment. Neutrality is not just another political slogan. If taken seriously, it will destroy the most distinctive feature of politics: the impossibility o…

Canada at the Constitutional Crossroads
Canada has, of course, been at the constitutional crossroads for some time. As Dicey put it in 1885: 'The preamble of the British North America Act, 1867, asserts with official mendacity that the Provinces of the present Dominion have expressed their desire to be united into one Dominion "with a constitution similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom." If preambles were intended to express the truth, for the word "Kingdom" ought to have b…

Neo-federalism?
Reason and history “It seems to have been reserved to the people of this country,” or so the first of The Federalist Papers assures Americans, “to decide ... whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force.” Two centuries onward, these proud words of Alexander Hamilton have been cove…
The Ghost of Liberalism Past
Liberating Abstraction
This is a great moment in world history.From Berlin to Moscow, the news is full of the restless striving of a renascent liberalism.For the first time in a long time, all of Europe resonates with the great liberal themes of freedom and equality under law.Great movements bring great dangers: a mobilized liberalism must compete with resurgent nationalisms, obscurantisms, theocracies.But the new demagogues seem less formidable than Hitler or Lenin or…
