Introduces agonistic theory and hegemony into contemporary debates on the commonAlexandros Kioupkiolis re-conceptualises the common in tandem with the political. By engaging with key thinkers of community and the commons, he harnesses the political thrust of a radical democratic politics of solidarity, equality and collective self-organisation. He calls into play poststructuralist conceptions of agonism and hegemony to remedy the failure of existing theories of the commons' to address power relations and division. Kioupkiolis argues that an effective politics of the common(s) must be combined with the politics of hegemony to advance another social configuration beyond state and capital. In the spirit of contemporary collective action, the strategy of hegemony should be transfigured by striking an imbalance between vertical structures and horizontal autonomy in favour of the common.Key FeaturesDraws on the work of Jean-Luc Nancy, Chantal Mouffe, Elinor Ostrom, Hardt and Negri, and Ernesto LaclauBreaks new ground by introducing agonistic theory and hegemony in the contemporary debate on the commons and communityClarifies contemporary theory by engaging with present-day examples of the politics of the common(s), including the governance of the digital commons, recent democratic mobilisations such as the Occupy movements and citizens’ municipal platforms of self-governance

The modern state protects citizens from many different harms, from industrial accidents to airline crashes. This Element illuminates a distinctive politics of protection that transcends policy sectors as diverse as criminal justice, consumer protection, and public health. Adopting a comparative and historical perspective, the Element identifies common drivers of protective state-building as well as cross-national differences in the politics of protection. The Element concludes by examining political theories of the protective state, which seek to defend and critique the obligations for and the limits of state protection.

The theme of this book is the crisis of the early modern state in eighteenth-century Britain. The revolt of the North American colonies and the simultaneous demand for wider religious toleration at home challenged the principles of sovereignty and obligation that underpinned arguments about the character of the state. These were expressed in terms of the 'common good', 'necessity', and 'community' - concepts that came to the fore in early modern European political thought and which gave expression to the problem of defining legitimate authority in a period of increasing consciousness of state power. The Americans and their British supporters argued that individuals ought to determine the common good of the community. A new theory of representation and freedom of thought defines the cutting edge of this revolutionary redefinition of the basic relationship between individual and community.
