General Editor, Columbia Studies in Political Thought/Political History:
"a series dedicated to exploring the possibilities for democratic initiative and the revitalization of politics in the wake of the exhaustion of twentieth-century ideological "isms". By taking a historical approach to the politics of ideas about power, governance, and the just society and by interpreting historical and contemporary events this series seeks to foster and illuminate new political spaces for human action and choice".
