Liberalism and the Limits of Power

Liberalism and the Limits of Power


Juliet A. Williams, "Liberalism and the Limits of Power"

Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | 2005 | ISBN 140397103X | PDF | 189 pages | 11.2 MB


Following a comparative study of canonical liberal philosophers Hayek and Rawls, Juliet Williams reveals a new direction for conceptualizing limited government in the twenty-first century, highlighting the central role that democratic politics--rather than philosophical principles--should play in determining the uses and limits of state power in a liberal regime. Williams draws on recent scholarship in the field of democratic theory and cultural studies in arguing for a shift in the ways liberals approach the study of politics.
