We live in a world in which almost all states purport to be republican. Very few adhere to the Ciceronian concept of res publica, understood as “that which belongs to the popolo (respublica respopuli) […] and which has the observance of the law and the commonality of interests as its foundation”. The concept of republicanism is traditionally connected to the principle that true political freedom consists of not being subject to the arbitrary will of any man or group of men, and it requires equality of civil and political rights. Republicanism has attracted scholars who aim to develop insights from the classical republican tradition into an attractive political doctrine suitable for modern pluralistic societies. The volume examines republicanism from an historical and theoretical perspective after many years of scholarly investigation and debate

Exploring the relationship between democracy and republicanism, and its consequences, key thinkers expand upon the foundational principle of republicanism - 'freedom as non-domination' - to articulate new theoretical insights into connections between liberty, law and democratic politics, and a radically new conceptualisation of the meaning and structure of democratic institutions and procedures. They present both historical and theoretical perspectives, giving an alternative to the political and legal theory of contemporary liberalism. Contributors include Philip Pettit, John Ferejohn, Rainer Forst, James Bohman, Cécile Laborde, Jack N. Rakove, John P. McCormick and Richard Bellamy.

Depuis l'ouvrage de John Pocock, The Machiavellian Moment. Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Tradition (1975), on connaît l'importance de James Harrington dans la pensée politique anglo-américaine à la période moderne. Parce qu'au-delà de l'acte de résistance à la tyrannie, il promeut la démocratie et propose les moyens constitutionnels de mettre en œuvre la souveraineté populaire dans un pays de vaste étendue, Harrington a incarné une forme distinctive de républicanisme.En retraçant l'histoire de sa réception dans la France des Lumières, cet ouvrage a pour but de combler un hiatus entre le grand récit pocockien du républicanisme machiavélien et l'historiographie de la Révolution française. En cela, il s'inscrit dans le panorama brossé en 2010 par l'historienne Rachel Hammersley, et va au-delà. D'une part, il accorde à Hume, Jaucourt ou Rousseau, aux côtés de ses nombreux traducteurs et commentateurs, un rôle central dans l'actualisation de la pensée de Harrington. D'autre part, il montre que son héritage intellectuel fut pluriel. Celui-ci n'est en effet pas seulement l'inspirateur de dispositions constitutionnelles spécifiques : à l'heure où se développe l'économie politique, Harrington apparaît comme le penseur d'une égalité relative des fortunes, perçue comme la seule base possible d'un ordre politique stable.--John Pocock's book The Machiavellian Moment. Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Tradition (1975) has shown the importance of James Harrington in Anglo-American modern political thought. Beyond the act of resistance to tyranny, he vindicates democracy and provides the constitutional means for implementing popular sovereignty in a vast country. In doing so, Harrington has incarnated a distinctive form of republicanism.By reconstructing the history of his reception in eighteenth century France, this book aims to bridge the gap between the great Pocockian narrative of Machiavellian republicanism and the historiography of the French Revolution. It is set against the panorama offered by Rachel Hammersley in 2010 and aims to go further. On the one hand, it shows how central Hume, Jaucourt or Rousseau have been in reviving Harrington's thought, along with his numerous translators and commentators. On the other hand, it shows that his intellectual legacy was diverse. He did not only stand as the inspirer of specific constitutional measures: as political economy developed, Harrington also appeared as the theoretician of a relative equality of wealth among the people, perceived by many as the true basis of a stable political order.
