Ethical life in totalitarian regimes is easy to critique because it deviates from everything we think morally acceptable. But illiberal regimes are similar enough to liberal democracies to make addressing the experience of living there strikingly difficult.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolitical ethics in illiberal regimes\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the common language of normative political theory is simply not up to the task of capturing this experience. On the one hand, we do not really need political theory to know why illiberal regimes are dangerous and undesirable. On the other, we do need political theory – at least of a certain realist kind – to understand why millions of reasonable people come to terms with living in such regimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book presents a novel theoretical language – Williamsian, liberal and realist – to articulate this experience. Part I lays out the theoretical framework, while Part II examines how politicians, experts and citizens in illiberal regimes are confronted with role-specific, political-ethical challenges and how the various normative contexts of their roles shape their agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: In theory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The case for a liberal political realism\u003cbr\u003e2 A neo-Aristotelian regime theory to the rescue\u003cbr\u003e3 The political-ethical experience of living in illiberal regimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: In practice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 The politics of illiberal ambition\u003cbr\u003e5 Independence in an illiberal regime\u003cbr\u003e6 Illiberal citizenship\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041003110743,"sku":"9781526142344","price":63.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526142344.jpg?v=1750948565","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/political-ethics-in-illiberal-regimes-a-realist-interpretation-9781526142344","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
