💣 It is not true that Rousseau confined elite accountability to elections! 🎯 Great work by @arthurghins.bsky.social in combining accountability and deliberation to highlight one of the lesser-known and underappreciated mechanisms of direct democracy: the recall referendum. A must-read.

A new article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social , in which I revisit Rousseau to propose a model of executive accountability combining a national jury—a citizens’ assembly chosen by lot, tasked with examining executive actions—with the possibility of a recall referendum.

This is the book that has come out of a terrific set of Carlyle Lectures in 2019, and it sounds as if Richard Whatmore has not been pulling his punches.

The End of Enlightenment by Richard Whatmore review – a warning from 18th-century Britain
In a study with chilling modern resonance, the history don contends that the age of reason was betrayed by the greed, corruption and barbarism of Britain’s ruling elite

Call for Papers! "On the Joint Practice of Conceptual History and the Study of Political Thought", a Concepta Seminar. Online, 8-9 January 2024. Deadline for proposals: 30 November. See the call / alt-text for more details!
CfP. Concepta Online Seminar: On the Joint Practice of Conceptual History and the Study of Political Thought, 8-9 Jan 2024

This seminar will explore the various linkages imaginable between conceptual history and political thought. It will delve around conditions, means, and ends of the joint practice of conceptual history focused on political thought, and the study of political thought informed by conceptual history. Their association remains a sign of methodological renewal and inspiration that challenges both scholarly practices and their correspondence in academic curricula. The seminar will inquire into the pros and cons of those interdisciplinary options, paying especial attention to their outcomes or consequences.

We welcome paper proposals dealing with any of the issues mentioned above. Kindly send your paper proposal (abstract of up to 150 words, with contact details) to the emails of both conveners: José María Rosales (jmrosales@uma.es) & Rosario López (rosariols@uma.es)
