This book is an argument about the moral foundations of foreign policy. It argues that a liberal state can insist upon the universal reach of liberal ideas, while still distinguishing between what is owed to citizens and what is owed to foreign citizens. This liberalism includes a concern for liberal toleration, which is intended to defend the proposition that a liberal state can work for democratization and liberalism abroad, without being intolerant or illiberal in doing so. What constraints there are on foreign policy emerge not from the need to tolerate undemocratic regimes, but from the p

American liberals and conservatives alike take for granted a progressive view of the Constitution that took root in the early twentieth century. Richard Epstein laments this complacency which, he believes, explains America's current economic malaise and political gridlock. Steering clear of well-worn debates between defenders of originalism and proponents of a living Constitution, Epstein employs close textual reading, historical analysis, and political and economic theory to urge a return to the classical liberal theory of governance that animated the framers' original constitutional design. Grounded in the thought of Locke, Hume, Madison, and other Enlightenment figures, classical liberalism emphasized federalism, restricted government, separation of powers, and strong protection of individual rights. New Deal progressives challenged this synthesis by embracing government as a force for social good rather than a necessary evil. The Supreme Court has unwisely ratified the progressive program by sustaining many legislative initiatives at odds with the classical liberal Constitution. Epstein addresses both the Constitution's structural safeguards against state power and its protection of individual rights. He sheds light on contemporary disputes ranging from presidential prerogatives to health care legislation, while exploring such enduring topics as judicial review, economic regulation, freedom of speech and religion, and equal protection.

The volume shows that neoliberalism concerns a tradition carried by a network of people, who understood themselves as liberals (and at times as neoliberals) and who sought to create societies based on individual freedom and a free market economy. It also shows that neoliberalism emerged as a transnational and multilingual phenomenon and that it cannot be reduced to one doctrine or practice. The book will enrich the reader's knowledge of the political-ideological landscapes and developments in...

Zdá se, e v soucasné dobe proíváme krizi liberální demokracie. Symptomy jsou neprehlédnutelné: pokles volební úcasti, nebývalá schopnost oligarchií vyuívat fungování státu ve svuj prospech, vlády tvrdoíjne prosazující neoliberální reformy i pres vytrvalý odpor obcanu, odumírání sociálního státu a v neposlední rade úspech nového populismu pravice. V této knize se hledá protilék. Príciny krize autori nespatrují ve výzvách globálního kapitalismu, nato v pohnuté ceské historii. Zajímá je vnitrní napetí v liberální demokracii samotné, které spatrují v nedostatecné artikulaci vztahu mezi liberalismem a demokracií. Soudí, e dosavadní artikulace se vycerpaly, a tak se hledají nové. Postliberální konstelaci povaují práve za takový teoretický prostor, ve kterém lze nove tematizovat schopnosti demokracie jednat kolektivne, verejne a politicky, schopnosti, které liberální teorie ve svých úvahách eliminují. Otázky s tím spojené se v knize zkoumají z hlediska ctyr smeru soudobé demokratické teorie: neorepublikanismu, deliberativní demokracie, postliberální demokracie a demokracie radikální. Odpovedi se pochopitelne lií, spolecná jim je ale snaha otevrít pro demokratické mylení postliberální perspektivu.

Ist es legitim, wenn der Staat eine Auffassung zum guten Leben vertritt und seinen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern nahebringt? Oder muss sich ein legitimer Staat aus allen Fragen des Guten heraushalten? Oder darf sich ein Staat Auffassungen zum guten Leben zu eigen machen und legitimerweise befördern, wenn diese vor allen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern gerechtfertigt sind? Um diese Probleme dreht sich der Streit zwischen Perfektionismus, politischem Liberalismus und perfektionistischem Liberalismus. In vorliegendem Buch wird dieser Streit dargestellt und Stellung für den perfektionistischen Liberalismus bezogen. Dazu werden die Unterschiede zwischen den genannten Positionen herausgearbeitet ausgehend davon, wie diese die Minimalanforderung an staatliche Legitimität interpretieren. Insbesondere wird diskutiert, wie sich Perfektionismus sowie politischer und perfektionistischer Liberalismus zu den Fragen der Rechtfertigung normativer und evaluativer Urteile, des gerechtfertigten Pluralismus und der Grenzen gerechtfertigten Dissenses positionieren. Aus den Antworten, die sie auf diese Fragen geben, lässt sich schließlich auch ein neues Verständnis von Toleranz und staatlicher Neutralität im Liberalismus ableiten.

A leading intellectual historian of Latin America here examines the changing political ideas of the Mexican intellectual and quasi-governmental elite during the period of ideological consensus from the victory of Benito Juárez of 1867 into the 1890s. Looking at Mexican political thought in a comparative Western context, Charles Hale fully describes how triumphant liberalism was transformed by its encounter with the philosophy of positivism. In so doing, he challenges the prevailing tendency to divide Mexican thought into liberal and positivist stages. The political impact of positivism in Mexico began in 1878, when the "new" or "conservative" liberals enunciated the doctrine of "scientific politics" in the newspaper La Libertad. Hale probes the intellectual origins of scientific politics in the ideas of Henri de Saint-Simon and Auguste Comte, and he discusses the contemporary models of the movement the conservative republics of France and Spain. Drawing on the debates between advocates of scientific politics and defenders of the Constitution of 1857 in its pure form, he argues that the La Libertad group of 1878 and their heirs, the Cientificos of 1893, were constitutionalists in the liberal tradition and not merely apologists for the authoritarian regime of Porfirio Díaz. Hale concludes by outlining the legacy of scientific politics for post-revolutionary Mexico, particularly in the present-day efforts to inject "democracy" into the political system.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

This special issue of Studies in law, politics and society focuses on law and the liberal state; presenting an interdisciplinary and multifaceted approach to analysis of law and liberty. The first chapters focus on laws direct relationship with the American liberal state. John P. Anderson defends John Rawl's pragmatism; Adelaide Villmoare and Peter Stillman consider the 'Janus faces of laws', a double vision of law where both sides of the face adhere to one another through neoliberalism; and Timothy Delaune examines jury nullification. The remaining chapters then go on to consider specific applications of the law within society. Susan Burgess provides a critical account of what implications the inclusion of gays in the US military has for understanding the means by which the liberal state uses law to include the previously excluded. Daniel Skinner then problematizes the body politics of American liberalism, as viewed through the lens of health policy and the final chapter from Beau Breslin and Katherine Cavanaugh explores how various legal and judicial policies have highlighted the clash between the states' imperial authority and Native American narratives.

During the years leading up to the revolutions of 1848, liberal and conservative Germans engaged in a contest over the terms of the Enlightenment legacy and the meaning of Christianity--a contest that grew most intense in the Grand Duchy of Baden, where liberalism first became an influential political movement. Bringing insights drawn from Jewish and women's studies into German history, Dagmar Herzog demonstrates how centrally Christianity's problematic relationships to Judaism and to sexuality shaped liberal, conservative, and radical thought in the pre-revolutionary years. In particular, she reveals how often conflicts over the "politics of the personal," especially over sex and marriage, determined "larger" political matters, among them the relationship between church and state and the terms on which Jews were granted civic rights.Herzog documents the rise of a politically sophisticated conservative Catholicism, and explores liberals' ensuing eagerness to advance a humanist version of Christianity. Yet she also examines the limitations at the heart of the liberal project, especially liberals' unwillingness to grant equality to those deemed "different" from the Christian male norm. Finally, the author analyzes the difficulties encountered by philosemitic and feminist radicals in reconceptualizing both classical liberalism and Christianity in order to make room for the claims of Jews and women.Originally published in 1996.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
