I articulate a global republican framework for understanding the obligations of states to such non-citizen residents. Neo-republican freedom as non-domination has an inherently institutional existence, in the sense that the state provides the necessary context for its enjoyment. When it is properly checked by its citizens, the state functions as non-dominating "public power", protecting its citizens from private domination without becoming a source of domination itself. The non-citizens who reside in republican states, however, do not have the capacity to hold their state of residence to account, and they are thus denied the full enjoyment of republican freedom. I ask under which conditions non-citizen residents may be denied their voting and other political rights, given that these comprise the key to their freedom, and I argue that restrictions on civil and political freedoms can be justified only to the extent that republican states promise to empower non-citizen residents when their state of citizenship falls short.

While acknowledging the achievements of international non-state actors, I argue that core global governance tasks – of global distribution, regulation or administration – should not be assigned to them. Drawing from neo-republican theory, I contend that such actors fall short of the formal criteria that are necessary for constituting a global public actor, because they do not have a global function and orientation. The distinction between public and private actors matters, since it conditions our expectations for them: both categories of actors are asked to avoid dominating individuals, but public actors must, in addition, protect individuals from third-party domination.

Over the course of the 2017-18 academic year, GGC fellows pursued independent, academically rigorous research around a topic of their choosing. The papers in this volume represent a variety of disciplines and methodologies, and the range of work undertaken by students throughout the year—some in connection to course work, junior policy seminars and senior theses, others as stand-alone research papers, and still others as short framing essays intended to serve as starting points for larger long-term research projects. The volume is divided into three sections focusing on 1) conflict and sexual violence, 2) political and social empowerment, and 3) reproductive rights

The political science profession and its attributes of conferencing and workshopping will likely follow suit. To help direct this flow into relationships of reciprocity and scholarly co-creation, this article details the experiences of a successful online workshopping community known as the Normative Theory of Immigration Working Group (NTIWG). For the past 10 years, this voluntary association comprising 88 migration ethics scholars has been meeting routinely and exclusively online to workshop penultimate drafts of research papers. Three workshop conveners here reflect on the joys of group participation and mutual learning and listening. With the intention of smoothing the way for like-minded groups to emerge and solidify, we elaborate our group’s animating values and its learned-by-doing rules for scheduling, moderating, and offering feedback online.

When a republican state aspires to avoid dominating others, may it still formulate its own foreign policy? This chapter suggests that there are two ways forward for preserving space for independent foreign policy. The first proposal parses categories of foreign policy initiatives according to their dominating effects in order to (cautiously) permit some and prohibit others. The second proposal conceives of a ‘licensing regime’ to signal which states have reliably displayed a robust commitment to non-domination in their dealings with others, and thus which states may be granted more leeway in formulating independent foreign policy than others.

Domination has again become a central political concern through the revival of the republican tradition of political thought (not to be confused with the US political party). However, normative debates about domination have mostly remained limited to the context of domestic politics. Also, the republican debate has not fully taken into account alternative ways of conceptualizing domination. Critical theorists, liberals, feminists, critical race theorists, and postcolonial writers have discussed domination in different ways, focusing on such problems as imperialism, racism, and the subjection of indigenous peoples. This volume extends debates about domination to the global level and considers how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines enrich, expand upon, and critique the republican tradition's contributions to the debate. This volume brings together, for the first time, mostly original pieces on domination and global political justice by some of this generation's most prominent scholars, including Philip Pettit, James Bohman, Rainer Forst, Amy Allen, John McCormick, Thomas McCarthy, Charles Mills, Duncan lvison, John Maynor, Terry Macdonald, Stefan Gosepath, and Hauke Brunkhorst. The book is now available for purchase in paperback. The frontmatter of the book is included here. The first chapter is posted elsewhere on this webpage. Many libraries have the entire book in electronic form. Look for the Taylor & Francis database for e-books. (Routledge is an imprint.) The book is dedicated to the memory of our co-editor, Jonathan Trejo-Mathys.
