Seit der letzten zusammenfassenden Darstellung der politischen Ordnung oder „Verfassung“ der römischen Republik hat die Forschung das gängige Bild – konfliktreiche Anfänge, konsolidierte Mittelphase, strukturell bedingte Selbstzerstörung – infragegestellt und neue Akzente gesetzt. So oszillierte das Politische zwischen dem 5. und dem 1. Jahrhundert v.Chr. ständig zwischen Stabilität und Reproduktion einerseits, Experimenten, Verflüssigung und krisenhafter Dynamik andererseits. Die politische Ordnung der res publica erwies sich in jedem ihrer Stadien als ein Organisationsstatut, das den jeweils maßgeblichen Akteuren ein Maximum an Kraftentfaltung wie an Handlungsfreiheit bereitstellte. Es bedurfte einer hohen Flexibilität, um ihnen Anreize zu geben, sich zu exponieren, Mittel und Wege zu finden, gemeinsam und zugleich im Wettbewerb die eigenen Ziele durchzusetzen, dabei aber auch den Basiskonsens über die Gesamtordnung zu wahren. Die komplexen Prozesse im Verlauf von beinahe vier Jahrhunderten werden durch die Kombination von orientierender Darstellung und kritischer Diskussion der Forschung transparent gemacht – durchaus mit Blick auf Erosionstendenzen auch in den lange scheinbar so stabilen politischen Ordnungen unserer Zeit. Der Band folgt der bewährten Dreiteilung in Darstellung, Forschung und Bibliographie. The political order of the Roman republic was both a basis for and a consequence of Roman expansionism. Uwe Walter’s synthesis evaluates previous research while suggesting new perspectives. Stability and the reproduction of the existing political order are shown to be in dynamic interplay with political actors who embark on a new course as a response to internal competition.

Christian Political Ethics brings together leading Christian scholars of diverse theological and ethical perspectives--Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist, and Anabaptist--to address fundamental questions of state and civil society, international law and relations, the role of the nation, and issues of violence and its containment. Representing a unique fusion of faith-centered ethics and social science, the contributors bring into dialogue their own varying Christian understandings with a range of both secular ethical thought and other religious viewpoints from Judaism, Islam, and Confucianism. They explore divergent Christian views of state and society--and the limits of each. They grapple with the tensions that can arise within Christianity over questions of patriotism, civic duty, and loyalty to one's nation, and they examine Christian responses to pluralism and relativism, globalization, and war and peace. Revealing the striking pluralism inherent to Christianity itself, this pioneering volume recasts the meanings of Christian citizenship and civic responsibility, and raises compelling new questions about civil disobedience, global justice, and Christian justifications for waging war as well as spreading world peace. It brings Christian political ethics out of the churches and seminaries to engage with today's most vexing and complex social issues. The contributors are Michael Banner, Nigel Biggar, Joseph Boyle, Michael G. Cartwright, John A. Coleman, S.J., John Finnis, Theodore J. Koontz, David Little, Richard B. Miller, James W. Skillen, and Max L. Stackhouse.
