Stilz forcefully argues that they can. After skillfully exposing problems with both cosmopolitan and nationalist liberalisms and effectively refuting liberal-leaning anarchists, Stilz turns to Kant, Rousseau, and Habermas for inspiration, arguing that liberals must conceptualize loyalty as a political duty to support institutions that promote liberal freedoms.\"--Choice \"Stilz has articulated with great clarity and consistency an alternative to both consent-theories of political obligation and to their nationalist counterparts. That alternative will find many supporters, and deserves to be taken very seriously even by its critics.\"--Lea Ypi, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews \"One of the values of Stilz's work is her attempt to reclaim particular terms and categories from contemporary political and philosophical discourse... The end of her work, the articulation of a rationally arrived-at duty of justice leading us to be loyal to democratic institutions and processes, is a worthwhile and ongoing project.\"--John Randolph LeBlanc, American Review of Politics \"Anna Stilz's book [is] a thoughtful, compelling meditation on liberal citizenship.\"--Steven Johnston, Perspectives on Politics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface vii  PART ONE: Equal Freedom and the State  Chapter 1: Introduction 3  Chapter 2: Authority 27  Chapter 3: Democracy 57  Chapter 4: Political Obligation and Justice 85  PART TWO: Solidarity and Allegiance  Chapter 5: Freedom and Culture in Rousseau 113  Chapter 6: Nationalism or Patriotism? 137  Chapter 7: Democracy as Collective Action 173  Chapter 8: Conclusion 209  Bibliography 213  Index 221","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49922429550935,"sku":"9780691150222","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691150222.jpg?v=1738537858","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/liberal-loyalty-9780691150222","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
