The Well-Ordered Republic offers intriguing positions, boasts a rigorous summary of the state of the art, and - by emphasizing republicanism's universality - pushes republican theorizing into less explored terrain. For years to come, it will inspire fruitful work and remain essential reading for anyone seriously interested in republicanism.
