This book critically assesses conceptions of democracy in different republican traditions. This book explores the historical and theoretical relationships between democracy and republicanism, and their consequences. It expands on the foundational principle of republicanism, putting forward new insights into connections between liberty, law and democratic politics, and a radically new conceptualisation of the meaning and structure of democratic institutions and procedures. It includes contributions from Philip Pettit, John Ferejohn, Rainer Forst, James Bohman, Cecile Laborde, Jack N. Rakove and John P. McCormick.
