Political Theory

The Political Theory cluster is diverse in its interests and approach. We have a sizeable group of analytic political philosophers engaged in normative analysis, working on areas such as justice in education and upbringing, justice and equality, citizenship and cultural diversity, intergenerational and environmental justice, and the future of work. The activities of this group are complemented by research agendas in democratic representation, history of political ideas, theories of political performance, ideas of territory, and continental political thought. Members of PAIS working on political theory are part of a larger group of normative theorists, including members of the Departments of Law and Philosophy, who participate in the activities of the Centre for Ethics, Law, and Public Affairs (CELPA).
