“…Early modern republican theorists were rarely in a position of power in actual republican states. Within republican polities such as the English Commonwealth, the ideals of republicanism were not widely held outside of London (Brenner, 2003: 539), and within the republic of Florence republican thinkers held no significant positions of power (Jurdjevic, 2008: 170). Less acknowledged by contemporary neo-Romans is that actual existing republics were ‘forged by historical experience’, in which political ideals were developed in conjunction with historical action (Honohan and Jennings, 2015: 8).…”

Republicanism is an approach within political theory that seeks to secure the values of political liberty and non-domination. Yet, in historical practice, early modern republics developed empires and secured their liberty through policies that dominated others. This contradiction presents challenges for how neo-Roman theorists understand ideals of liberty and political freedom. This article argues that the historical practices of slavery and empire developed concurrently with the normative ideals of republican liberty. Republican liberty does not arise in the absence of power but is inherently connected to the exercise of power.

“…Philip Pettit, along with the Cambridge School of intellectual historians, 36 has sought to identify a republican tradition stretching from the Roman Republic to Machiavelli, to the English Civil War, and the early United States. 37 Defined as 'neo-Roman', this school of thought has sought to show that republican liberty derives from the political ideal of 'self-government' 38 and it is the desire for 'political freedom', that distinguishes republicanism as a theory of liberty. 39 IR has largely missed the significance of republican thought because the latter was first and foremost a critique of absolutist imperialism.…”

The republican tradition has long been influential within political theory, but has been less acknowledged within the discipline of International Relations (IR). Republican theorists and republican ideas of political liberty underlie many normative claims made by both liberal and realist schools of thought. The following examination of republicanism takes an interdisciplinary approach to argue the relevance of republicanism for IR theory. When republicanism is recognised within IR, it is often through a triumphalist reading of the early American republic and its founding. This article opens new ground by presenting a more critical account of republicanism. It does so by focusing on the connections between republican liberty and the history of republics to dominate those outside the polis.
