• I. REPUBLICAN LEGAL THEORY; II. REPUBLICAN LAW; A. REPUBLICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW; B. REPUBLICAN CRIMINAL LAW; C. REPUBLICAN INTERNATIONAL LAW; III. NATIONAL REPUBLICANISMS AND THE LAW

Samantha Besson and Jose Luis Marti have produced an excellent state-of-the-art synthesis of contemporary republican theory, which amply illustrates the latter's depth, breath and vitality. They have assembled an impressive team of high-profile advocates of what they call 'legal republicanism', which they present not as a narrowly conceived theory of law but as a 'holistic approach to the political and legal organisation of a republic'. The book, therefore will be of interest not only to legal theorists but also, more generally, to theorists of politics and political philosophers.
