Provides the most comprehensive, and up-to-date account of republican political theory presently available
Explains how classical republicans from Machiavelli to Madison, together with contemporary republicans such as Philip Pettit and Quentin Skinner, form a coherent political tradition
Clarifies the sense in which republicanism is distinct from other related political traditions such as liberalism, communitarianism, or democratic populism
Offers a rigorous account of domination that includes a discussion of multi-agent domination and the role of social structures in constituting domination
