Republican Europe
Constitutional orders constitute political communities – and international orders deriving from them – by managing conflicts that threaten peace.This book explores how a European political community can be advanced through EU constitutional law.The constitutional role of the Union is to ensure peace by addressing two types of conflict.The first are static conflicts of interests between the national polities in the EU.These are avoided by ensuring reciprocal non-interference between Member States in the Union through deregulation in Union law.The second are dynamic conflicts of ideas about positive liberty held by the peoples of Europe.These can be resolved through regulation in a European political space.Here, EU law enables a continuous process of re-negotiating a shared European idea of positive liberty that can be accepted as its own by each national polity in the EU.These solutions to the two types of conflicts correspond to the liberal and republican models for Europe.The claim of this book is that the constitutional design of Europe presents both liberal and republican features.Taking an innovative approach, which draws on arguments from substantive law, constitutional theory, case law analysis, insights from psychology and philosophy, it identifies how best to strengthen the Union through constitutional law.

Rousseau's Constitutionalism : Austerity and Republican Freedom
Despite Rousseau’s legacy to political thought, his contribution as a constitutional theorist is underexplored.Drawing on his constitutional designs for Corsica and Poland, this book argues that Rousseau’s constitutionalism is defined chiefly by its socially directive character.His constitutional projects are not aimed, primarily, at coordinating and containing state power in the familiar liberal-democratic sense.Instead, they are aimed at fostering the social conditions in which a fuller sense of freedom – understood broadly as non-domination – can be realised across all social domains. And in turn, since Rousseau views domination as being deeply embedded in complex social practices, his constitutionalism is aimed at fostering a radical austerity – social, economic and cultural – as its foil.In locating Rousseau’s constitutional projects within his social and political theory of servitude and domination, this book will challenge the predominant focus and orientation of contemporary republican theory.Leading republican thinkers have drawn on the historical republican canon to articulate a model of constitutionalism which is, on the whole, ‘liberal’ in focus and orientation.This book will argue that the more communitarian orientation of Rousseau’s constitutionalism – that is, its socially-directive focus – stems from a sophisticated and compelling account of the sources of unfreedom in complex societies, sources which are ignored or downplayed by the neo-republican literature.Rousseau embraces a communitarian social politics as part of his constitutional project precisely because, pessimistically, he views domination as being deeply embedded in the social relations of the liberal order.

The Decline and Fall of Republican Afghanistan
The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in 2021 was the result of declining active support for the government, and of waste and inefficiency in aid delivery.Yet, while corrosive, these problems were not in themselves sufficient to have brought about a collapse.To a significant degree, they were the result of early failings in institutional design, reflecting an American inclination to pursue short-term policy approaches that created perverse incentives—thus interfering with the long-term objective of stability. This book exposes the true factors underpinning Kabul’s fall.The Afghan Republic came under relentless attack from Taliban insurgents who depended critically on Pakistani support.It also suffered a creeping invasion that put the government on the back foot as the US tried and failed to deal with Pakistan’s perfidy.The fatal blow came when bored US leaders naively cut an exit deal with the enemy, fatally compromising the operation of the Afghan army and air force and triggering the final collapse, with top leaders at odds over whether to make a final stand in Kabul. The Afghan Republic did not simply decline and fall.It was betrayed.

What are republican institutions in the Weimar Constitution?
The Weimar Constitution, which governed Germany from 1919 to 1933, established several republican institutions. These included a parliamentary system with a democratically elected Reichstag (parliament) and a president elected by the people. The constitution also guaranteed fundamental rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech, assembly, and religion. Additionally, it established an independent judiciary to uphold the rule of law and protect individual rights. These republican institutions were intended to create a democratic and stable government in the aftermath of World War I and the fall of the German monarchy.
