“…Beyond the confines of democratic theory, socialist democracy shares many commonalities with socialist republicans, who also advocate public ownership and control of the means of production, but do so to achieve the republican goal of non-domination (Thompson, 2019; O’Shea, 2019; Muldoon, 2022). In addition to these points of intersection, socialist democracy has the added benefit of being less tied to the questionable reactionary and anti-democratic legacy of republican political thought (McCormick, 2003; Ramgotra, 2014). Republicanism has been traditionally tied to a militaristic and masculine model of the sturdy man of honour who bears arms.…”

Contemporary democratic theorists have tended to assume that democracy is compatible with and even requires a capitalist economic system. Rosa Luxemburg offers a democratic criticism of this view, arguing that the dominating effects of a capitalist economy undermine the ability of liberal democracy to actualise its ideals of freedom and equality. Drawing on Luxemburg’s writings, this article theorises a model of socialist democracy which combines support for public ownership and control of the means of production with a plural multi-party electoral system and a defence of civil liberties. It recovers Luxemburg’s conceptualisation of a socialist democracy as the extension of democratic principles to major social and economic institutions currently governed by nondemocratic authority structures. It defends this version of socialist democracy from the liberal objection that it violates citizens’ property rights and the Marxist objection that it retains the dominating structures of the state and a coercive legal system.

“…Por esta razón, mientras que los autores de la llamada Escuela de Cambridge, como Pettit, Skinner o Viroli, consideran este igualitarismo como un rasgo importante del republicanismo, autores como McCormick o Ramgotra lo consideran bastante limitado, incluso conservador, ya que reproduce y defiende un esquema de estratificación social que traslada a las estructuras del Estado esa misma distinción y exclusión política (McCormick, 2003;Ramgotra, 2014).…”

En el mundo contemporáneo, muchos países se hacen llamar repúblicas, algunos partidos políticos incluyen en su nombre la palabra republicano y hay individuos que se consideran comprometidos con el republicanismo. ¿Pero qué significa el republicanismo? En el presente artículo se hace una descripción y análisis del significado del republicanismo para tres importantes autores de la época del Renacimiento, Jerónimo Savonarola, Nicolás Maquiavelo y Francisco Guicciardini. La idea central que se desarrolla es que el republicanismo renacentista, del cual estos tres autores son representantes fidedignos, se caracteriza por seis rasgos distintivos, base para su concepción y definición: el bien común, la virtud ciudadana, la libertad, la igualdad, el imperio de la ley y la estabilidad. A pesar de que estos seis rasgos característicos que se enumeran se refieren específicamente a la concepción que se tenía del republicanismo en el Renacimiento, se afirma que aún son la base para definir y comprender al republicanismo contemporáneo.

“…33 It is a tradition based on the participation of equal citizens in a free polis with the use of mixed constitutions designed to prevent unaccountable forms of power. 34 Republicanism also recognises that the freedom of political liberty is not a natural attribute of the human condition. Citizens can only be considered free when they have the right to participate in the life of the polis without fear of tyrannical control.…”

Republicanism within IR: A History of Liberty and Empire

The republican tradition has long been influential within political theory, but has been less acknowledged within the discipline of International Relations (IR). Republican theorists and republican ideas of political liberty underlie many normative claims made by both liberal and realist schools of thought. The following examination of republicanism takes an interdisciplinary approach to argue the relevance of republicanism for IR theory. When republicanism is recognised within IR, it is often through a triumphalist reading of the early American republic and its founding. This article opens new ground by presenting a more critical account of republicanism. It does so by focusing on the connections between republican liberty and the history of republics to dominate those outside the polis.
