Republicanism has enjoyed a revival of scholarly interest in several fields. In this book, Nicholas Onuf provides a treatment of the republican way of thinking about law, politics and society in the context of international thought. He tells two stories about republicanism, starting with Aristotle and culminating in the 18th century, when international thought became a distinctive enterprise.

This volume examines international statebuilding in terms of language and meanings, rather than focusing narrowly on current policy practices.
After two decades of evolution towards more integrated, multi-faceted or, simply stated, more intrusive statebuilding and peacebuilding operations, a critical literature has slowly emerged on the economic, social and political impacts of these interventions.

This book examines epochal change in the modern world within the confines of a "mightie frame".
