Summary / Abstract (Note) | Daniel Deudney's impressive reformulation of republican security theory has rightly garnered a great deal of attention from scholars of international politics. However, a close examination of Deudney's theory reveals that it rests on a series of weaknesses. His defense of a novel form of world state depends on a one-sided interpretation of state sovereignty according to which it functions chiefly as a protective device against external foes, an idiosyncratic rereading of modern republican theory and the US framers, and a highly tendentious view of US history. Notwithstanding his noteworthy attempt to break free from the insularity of US political and intellectual life, Deudney reproduces some elements of it. |
