- The Meaning of Partisanship is an ambitious work of synthesis. Developing a philosophical account of parties, it cuts across several conventional disciplinary divisions, including between political science, political theory, the history of ideas, and sociology. It contributes to a wide variety of academic debates, from comparative politics (what is a party?) to political behaviour (what motivates partisanship?), moral philosophy (why be loyal?) to political philosophy (is compromise a virtue?). It also raises matters of practical concern, including how to make parties internally democratic. The work was eight years in the making and engaged scholarship in English, German, French and Italian.
