The People

Производитель: "Неизвестный"

This groundbreaking study sets out to clarify one of the most influential but least studied of all political concepts. Despite continual talk of popular sovereignty, the idea of the people has been neglected by political theorists who have been deterred by its vagueness. Margaret Canovan argues that it deserves serious analysis, and that it?s many ambiguities point to unresolved political issues. The book begins by charting the conflicting meanings of the people, especially in Anglo American usage, and traces the concept?s development from the ancient populus Romanus to the present day. The book?s main purpose is, however, to analyse the political issues signalled by the people?s ambiguities. In the remaining chapters, Margaret Canovan considers their theoretical and practical aspects: Where are the people?s boundaries? Is people equivalent to nation, and how is it related to humanity people in general? Populists aim to... ISBN:9780745628226

Margaret Canovan

Margaret Canovan (born 1939) is an English political theorist.

Born in Carlisle in 1939, Canovan studied history at Girton College, Cambridge, where she subsequently completed a PhD on Joseph Priestley. She became a professor in the Politics Department at Lancaster University not long after its inception, later moving to Keele University where she remained until her retirement in 2002.

Margaret Canovan has published a number of books but is perhaps best known for her work on Hannah Arendt, particularly after accessing Arendt's unpublished papers in the late 1980s. Her book Hannah Arendt: A Reinterpretation of Her Political Thought (1992) was described by Gordon Tolle in The Review of Politics as "an excellent and comprehensive explanation of how Arendt's political theory emerges out of her early struggle to understand the new phenomenon of totalitarianism".[1]

Her later work on nationalism was also received with international acclaim. Steven Engel noted that "Canovan's book distinguishes itself in that its aim is 'to argue that questions of nationhood are not an optional extra for political theory, but should actually be at the heart of the discipline' ".[2]
