The essays are grouped around the themes of democracy, contract and compliance, and the responsibility of the state. Each author provides a detailed and freestanding examination of one aspect of the normative analysis of the state, and the resulting collection clearly displays the growing interaction between academic disciplines. The editors provide an introduction which sets out the analytic prerequisites for the normative theory of the state. The contributors are: Geoffrey Brennan, Joshua Cohen, Partha Dasgupta, Robert Goodin, Alan Hamlin, Russell Hardin, Philip Pettit, Robert Sugden, Albert Weale.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface vii \u003cp\u003e1 The Normative Analysis of the State: Some Preliminaries \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlan Hamlin and Philip Pettit \u003c\/i\u003e2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Deliberation and Democratic Legitimacy \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoshua Cohen \u003c\/i\u003e15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Limits of Democracy \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlbert Weale \u003c\/i\u003e17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Politics with Romance: Towards a Theory of Democratic Socialism \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeoffrey Brennan \u003c\/i\u003e35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II Contract and Compliance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Maximizing Social Welfare: Is it the Government's Business? \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert Sugden \u003c\/i\u003e49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Liberty, Contract and the State \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlan Hamlin \u003c\/i\u003e87\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Political Obligation \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRussell Hardin \u003c\/i\u003e103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III The Responsibility of the State\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The State as a Moral Agent \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert E.
