  1. Machiavelli Against Sovereignty: Emergency Powers and the Decemvirate.Eero Arum - forthcoming - Political Theory.
    This article argues that Machiavelli’s chapters on the Decemvirate ( D 1.35, 1.40-45) advance an internal critique of the juridical discourse of sovereignty. I first contextualize these chapters in relation to several of Machiavelli’s potential sources, including Livy’s Ab urbe condita, Dionysius of Halicarnassus’s Roman Antiquities, and the antiquarian writings of Andrea Fiocchi and Giulio Pomponio Leto. I then analyze Machiavelli’s claim that the decemvirs held “absolute authority” ( autorità assoluta)—an authority that was unconstrained by either laws or countervailing magistrates. (...)

  • Politique y savant. Jean Bodin frente al desafío de la tolerancia.Manuel Tizziani - 2017 - Agora 36 (2).
    ¿Qué actitud asumió Jean Bodin frente al conflicto confesional que asoló a Francia durante el siglo XVI? ¿Qué respuestas ofreció al desafío de la tolerancia? He ahí los interrogantes que guían nuestra indagación. Según nuestra tesis, en efecto, las respuestas de Bodin parecen haberse postulado principalmente en dos planos: el político y el filosófico. En el primero, el angevino habría intentado ofrecer mejores fundamentos jurídicos a la posición de los politiques, grupo de intelectuales que buscaba terciar entre hugonotes y católicos; (...)

  • A genealogy of the modern state.Quentin Skinner - 2009 - In Proceedings of the British Academy, Volume 162, 2008 Lectures. pp. 325.
    This lecture presents the text of the speech about the genealogy of the modern state delivered by the author at the 2008 British Academy Lecture. It explains that to investigate the genealogy of the state is to discover that there has never been any agreed concept to which the word state has answered. The lecture suggests that any moral or political term that has become so deeply enmeshed in so many ideological disputes over such a long period of time is (...)

  • Finding the “Sovereign” in “Sovereign Immunity”: Lessons from Bodin, Hobbes, and Rousseau.David Schraub - 2017 - Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society 29 (3):388-413.
    The doctrine of “sovereign immunity” holds that the U.S. government cannot be sued without its consent. This is not found in the Constitution’s text; it is justified on philosophical grounds as inherent to being a sovereign state: a sovereign must be able to issue commands free from constraint. The sources of this understanding of sovereignty—Hobbes, Bodin, and others—are, in turn, condemned by opponents of sovereign immunity as absolutists whose doctrines are incompatible with limited, constitutional government. This debate, and thus the (...)

  • Realizing the Social Contract: The Case of Colonialism and Indigenous Peoples.Robert Lee Nichols - 2005 - Contemporary Political Theory 4 (1):42-62.
    From 1922 to 1924, the Iroquois Confederacy — a federal union of six aboriginal nations — sought resolution of a dispute between themselves and Canada at the League of Nations. In this paper, the historical events of the 1920s League are employed as a case study to explore the development of the international society of states in the early 20th century as it relates to the indigenous peoples of North America. Specifically, it will be argued that the early modern practice (...)

  • La hiérarchie des normes dans l'ordre juridique, social et institutionnel de l'Ancien Régime.Francesco Di Donato - 2013 - Revus 21:237-292.
    Le contrôle de constitutionnalité, dont la magistrature parlementaire de l’Ancien Régime revendiquait le plein droit, n’était pas fondé uniquement sur les lois fondamentales du royaume, mais sur l’ensemble des principes (« les maximes ») tirés de la « Tradition ». Cette dernière était composée en premier lieu par le droit divin et le droit naturel, c’est-à-dire par des systèmes juridiques qui nécessitaient, tous les deux, une interprétation juridictionnelle ‘sapientiale’. Cette activité interprétative était ‘révélatrice’ d’un corpus de valeurs métaphysiques à laquelle (...)

  • The Theory of Contractual Monarchy in the Works of the Huguenot Monarchomachs.Andrei Constantin Salavastru - 2018 - Meta: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy 10 (2):512-539.
    The French Wars of Religion were often characterized in historiography as a revolutionary period, when some very advanced political theories were put forward by the parties in conflict. Some historians spoke of the existence of a form of popular sovereignty in many of the political writings produced during that time, where different constitutional mechanisms for restraining the powers of the monarchy were imagined. The first to propose such theories were the Huguenot theorists, especially those which would gain fame as the (...)

  • The Discourse of Resistance in Huguenot Political Thought: The Role of the Estates General.Andrei Constantin Salavastru - 2017 - Meta: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy 9 (2):654-680.
    The political philosophy of the late Middle Ages had often approached the problem of tyranny, even attempting to provide possible solutions, but it was the sixteenth-century Reformation which turned this matter into the key issue of a new political model. France, in particular, experienced fierce disputes over this question, as the French Wars of Religion saw the proliferation, to an unprecedented degree, which no one would have thought possible before, of theories of resistance against monarchical “tyranny”. At first, more timid, (...)
