JOIN OR DIE - PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF FEDE...

Research on federalism is rarely concerned with its philosophical foundations. However 
arguments on why and how best to organise a plurality of states in a multilevel political order
have first been discussed by philosophers and continue to inspire contemporary reasoning on
international and supranational relations not only in political philosophy. This book offers a
unique overview of the philosophical foundations of federalism from both a historical and a
systematic perspective. The analyses proposed by renowned scholars from the US and from several
European countries cover classic writers such as Hobbes and the authors of the Federalist
Papers  Kant and Rawls  and range from anthropological justifications of federal orders to
contemporary problems of EU constitutionalism  the principle of subsidiarity and the
jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The book is of relevance to anyone
interested in philosophical justifications of federalism.
