Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept Of Kingship Abstract Scholars who have discussed Josephus’ political philosophy have largely focused on his concepts of aristokratia or theokratia. In general, they have ignored his concept of kingship. Those that have commented on it tend to dismiss Josephus as anti-monarchical and ascribe this to the biblical anti- monarchical tradition. To date, Josephus’ concept of kingship has not been treated as a significant component of his political philosophy. Through a close reading of Josephus’ longest text, the Jewish Antiquities, a historical work that provides extensive accounts of kings and kingship, I show that Josephus had a fully developed theory of monarchical government that drew on biblical and Greco- Roman models of kingship. Josephus held that ideal kingship was the responsible use of the personal power of one individual to advance the interests of the governed and maintain his and his subjects’ loyalty to Yahweh. The king relied primarily on a standard array of classical virtues to preserve social order in the kingdom, protect it from external threats, maintain his subjects’ quality of life, and provide them with a model for proper moral conduct.

Since its emergence from the detritus of the British Indian Empire in 1947, it has witnessed four military coups (1958, 1969, 1978 and 1999), long periods of political instability and a persistent inability to consolidate democratic institutions. It also witnessed the loss of a significant portion of its territory (East Pakistan) in 1971 following the brutal suppression of an indigenous uprising in the aftermath of which some ten million individuals sough refuge in India. The flight of the refugees to India and the failure to reach a political resolution to the crisis precipitated Indian military intervention and culminated in the creation of the new state of Bangladesh.i Pakistan’s inability to sustain a transition to democracy is especially puzzling given that India too emerged from the collapse of British rule in South Asia.

  • Forms of Traditional States and Their Historical
    Abstract: The article investigates traditional states in the FORMS OF TRADITIONAL STATES AND context of their historical origin. The work substantiates that in the traditional legal order, land ownership THEIR HISTORICAL SPECIFICITY generates political power distributed among several carriers, representing the community, and the other, the State itself. To describe the state’s traditional form, the FORMAS DOS ESTADOS TRADICIONAIS E authors propose to use the concept of “diarchy”, which differs significantly from both the monarchical and the SUA ESPECIFICIDADES HISTÓRICAS republican forms of the state. The authors show that the latter has not been adequately covered in the history of political and legal doctrines. However, it serves as the basis to develop monarchical and republican forms of government. In this respect, it is substantiated that in the era of traditional states, diarchy was a typical form of state organization, the essence of which was the division of power prerogatives between the supreme ruler, who Valentin Ya. Liubashits 1 concentrated priestly functions, and the “vice-king”, Nikolai V. Razuvaev 2 exercising the full military and administrative power. Alexey Yu.

  • Positing an Ideal Form of Monarchy in Herodotus' Histories
    Positing an Ideal Form of Monarchy in Herodotus’ Histories Almost every society described in Herodotus’ Histories has experienced one-man rule. Under one-man rule, an individual is the sole possessor of political authority, which is attained and exercised either legitimately or illegitimately. Legitimate one-man rule (monarchy) is usually inherited or obtained by a community-sanctioned process. Illegitimate one-man rule (tyranny) is attained through non-traditional means that are often violent. Even tyrannies, however, can be passed on through hereditary channels – the Peisistratidae and the Mermnadae are examples. Some argue that the distinction between monarchs and tyrants in the Histories is constructed by scholars (Morgan, 2003). Munson (2003) suggests that access to the monarchy through cleverness or luck reveals its essential illegitimacy and hence falsifies the distinction. Other scholars assert that it is valid to distinguish between monarchy and tyranny because Herodotus presents some manifestations of one-man rule as acceptable constitutional forms (Davie 1979; Flory 1987). The potential for illegitimacy in monarchy has created an intense focus on tyrants and the nature of autocratic rule in the Histories. Dewald (2003) argues for a “despotic template:” an ideal form of tyranny in which all one-man rules partake at least in part. She asserts that the institution of tyranny exerts an influence on the individuals who fill the role, and that this influence can be observed in almost all individual instances of one-man rule. In this paper, I suggest a parallel “monarchical template:” the ideal form of monarchy that may also exert an institutional pull on those same individuals.

  • Dyarchy: Democracy, Autocracy and the Scalar Sovereignty of Interwar India
    Dyarchy: Democracy, Autocracy and the Scalar Sovereignty of Interwar India Stephen Legg School of Geography University of Nottingham Nottingham NG72RD [email protected] Abstract The 1919 Government of India Act instituted sweeping constitutional reforms that were inspired by the concept of “dyarchy”. This innovation in constitutional history devolved powers to the provinces and then divided these roles of government into reserved and transferred subjects, the latter of which would be administered by elected Indian ministers. Recent scholarship has been reassessing the local biopolitical potential unleashed by the 1919 Act. In this paper I revisit dyarchy at the national scale to show how this “All-India” re- visioning of Indian sovereignty was actually negotiated in relation to its imperial and international outsides and the exigencies of retaining governmental control inside the provinces. This paper will propose a constitutional historical geography of dyarchy, focusing on three scales and the forms of comparison they allow. First, Lionel Curtis’s political geometries and the international genealogies of his federalist aspirations are explored. Secondly, the partially democratic level of the province is shown to have been rigorously penetrated by, and categorically subordinated to, the central tier of colonial autocracy, which orchestrated a political geography of exclusion and exception. Finally, rival conceptions of time and sequentiality will be used to examine the basis for nationalist criticisms and exploitations of dyarchy’s reconfigurations of democracy, biopolitics, and the vital mass of the people. 1 Dyarchy: Democracy, Autocracy and the Scalar Sovereignty of Interwar India1 “The myriad problems of India must be and can be solved only by the Indians in India.

  • Debating Representative Democracy
    Critical Exchange Debating representative democracy Nadia Urbinati, Democracy Disfigured: Opinion, Truth, and the People. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2014. Contemporary Political Theory advance online publication, 8 December 2015; doi:10.1057/cpt.2015.57 Nadia Urbinati’s book Democracy Disfigured has two main goals. The first is to defend a ‘diarchic’ conception of democracy, based on the interplay between popular will and opinion. The second is to describe three possible disfigurations of this conception of democracy – the epistemic, the populist and the plebiscitarian – all of which alter the balance between will and opinion, undermining the ultimate goal of democracy, which is assumed to consist in laying the conditions for civil and political freedom. The two constitutive poles of Urbinati’s conception of democracy are therefore what she calls ‘will’ and ‘opinion’ (Urbinati, 2014, p. 17). The first is assumed to correspond to the formal rules and procedures through which collectively binding decisions are taken in a free and fair way; that is essentially, voting and majority rule as ways of structuring political representation. Opinion, on the other hand, is assumed to correspond to the multiple processes through which citizens influence collective decisions in an informal and indirect way, beyond the selection of their representatives; that is essentially, participation in the public sphere, political demonstration and other forms of direct action. As Urbinati stresses, opinion is therefore a ‘power that is meant to give voice to citizens’ claims, monitor institutions and devise alternative political agendas’ (Urbinati, 2014, pp. 7–8). The notion of ‘diarchy’ is meant to capture the relation between will and opinion in the context of a system in which the two ‘are different and should remain distinct, although in need of constant communication’ (Urbinati, 2014, p.

    Interregnum: Queen Regency in the Seleucid Empire by Stacy Reda A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 © Stacy Reda 2014 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract An examination of the ancient sources indicates that there were possibly seven Queens Regent throughout the course of the Seleucid Dynasty: Apama, Laodice I, Berenice Syra, Laodice III, Laodice IV, Cleopatra I Thea, and Cleopatra II Selene. This thesis examines the institution of Queen Regency in the Seleucid Dynasty, the power and duties held by the Queen Regent, and the relationship between the Queen and her son—the royal heir. This thesis concludes that Queen Regency was not a set office and that there were multiple reasons and functions that could define a queen as a regent. iii Acknowledgements I give my utmost thanks and appreciation to the University of Waterloo’s Department of Classical Studies. The support that I have received from all members of the faculty during my studies has made a great impact on my life for which I will always be grateful. Special thanks to my advisor, Dr. Sheila Ager, for mentoring me through this process, and Dr. Maria Liston (Anthropology) for her support and guidance.

  • Challenges to Representative Democracy: Technocracy and Populism
    Claudia Landwehr Challenges to representative democracy: technocracy and populism Representation is an essential element of what makes mass democracy possible in a pluralist society. However, societal conditions for democratic representation and relationships between representatives and constituents are changing, as are citizens’ understanding and expectations of democracy and representation. The chapter discusses how societal conditions for political representation have changed and assesses the technocratic and populist challenges to representative democracy. I explore to what extent pluralism prevails not only on the substantial, but also on the procedural level, i.e. in citizens understandings and evaluations of democratic decision-making and argue that the plurality of different conceptions of democracy and representation among citizens constitutes both a threat to the procedural consensus democracy rests upon and a resource to renew this consensus through democratic meta-deliberation. 1. Introduction Bernard Manin has argued that every transformation of democracy is accompanied by diagnoses of crisis (Manin, 1997: 193/4). The contemporary diagnoses of a crisis of liberal democracy are also, and perhaps primarily, diagnoses of a crisis of representation. Those concerned about political alienation and non-participation tend to blame misfunctions of representative institutions and their removed, secluded and increasingly technocratic character for citizens’ loss of interest in politics (e.g. Crouch, 2002, Hay, 2007, Mair, 2013).
