When do governments merit our allegiance, and when should they be denied it? Ian Shapiro explores this most enduring of political dilemmas in this innovative and engaging book. Building on his highly popular Yale courses, Professor Shapiro evaluates the main contending accounts of the sources of political legitimacy. Starting with theorists of the Enlightenment, he examines the arguments put forward by utilitarians, Marxists, and theorists of the social contract. Next he turns to the anti-Enlightenment tradition that stretches from Edmund Burke to contemporary post-modernists. In the last part of the book Shapiro examines partisans and critics of democracy from Plato's time until our own. He concludes with an assessment of democracy's strengths and limitations as the font of political legitimacy. The book offers a lucid and accessible introduction to urgent ongoing conversations about the sources of political allegiance.

我自己是多少相較於某種研究的經驗意義,更重視這種研究的理論意義的人。對於何種研究的經驗上的重要性,在一個由”公共選擇“構成的民主製度下的政治市場當中,這種重要性的判斷,並不是由學者說瞭算。相反,我倒是更傾嚮於那種喜歡Positive Political Theory的人。像一些學者所論及的那樣,民主理論對於政治學的作用,就類似於市場理論之於經濟學。經濟學在過往所取得的偉大成就,一大重要原因,就在於它有著從微觀到宏觀,鏈接人的行為與市場結構包括解釋市場製度分異性的完整的經濟學理論和若乾公理化的定律。而政治學的學生,直到現在,都很少把民主製度視作一種的政治市場,也並未提齣替代這種”政治市場“理論假設的更好的針對民主政治的理論。此書不是所謂的政治哲學的作品,而是政治理論的一部教科書~~
