The book's central thesis has two components. First, it is argued that the maximization of equal liberty requires historical progress beyond the sovereign state system. In contrast to Fukuyama’s (1992) argument that liberal democracy is the end of history, it is argued that liberalism contains two contradictions (socioeconomic inequality and the shortcoming in equal liberty inherent to state power) with the potential to propel history further. This book's argument -- libertarian social democracy -- provides a framework to guide that final stage of history. Second, while anarchist philosophy offers a vision beyond the sovereign state, it can be rendered more suitable as an alternative paradigm. Specifically, it is argued that anarchism is hampered by its traditional adherence to prefigurative strategy, according to which the state cannot be used as a means to achieve a free and equal society. By contrast, libertarian social democracy incorporates a role for a democratic transitionary state (described here as gradualist anarchism) thus addressing mainstream "Hobbesian" concerns about bad anarchy (where decentralization yields a net loss in equal liberty). In so doing, the book reveals the full spectrum of anarchist strategy from prefigurative to gradualist. 001481362 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 9, 2023). 001481362 650_0 $$aAnarchism.$$zFrance$$0(DLC)sh2009114895 001481362 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001481362 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031394615$$z9783031394614$$w(OCoLC)1387008154 001481362 830_0 $$aContributions to political science,$$x2198-7297 001481362 852__ $$bebk 001481362 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-39462-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001481362 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1481362$$pGLOBAL_SET 001481362 980__ $$aBIB 001481362 980__ $$aEBOOK 001481362 982__ $$aEbook 001481362 983__ $$aOnline 001481362 994__ $$a92$$bISE
