The essays are grouped around the themes of democracy, contract and compliance, and the responsibility of the state. Each author provides a detailed and freestanding examination of one aspect of the normative analysis of the state, and the resulting collection clearly displays the growing interaction between academic disciplines. The editors provide an introduction which sets out the analytic prerequisites for the normative theory of the state. The contributors are: Geoffrey Brennan, Joshua Cohen, Partha Dasgupta, Robert Goodin, Alan Hamlin, Russell Hardin, Philip Pettit, Robert Sugden, Albert Weale.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Hamlin \u003c\/b\u003eis Lecturer in Economics at the University of Southampton and author of \u003ci\u003eEthics, Economics and the State. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Pettit \u003c\/b\u003eis Professorial Fellow in teh Research School of Social Sciences at Australian National University.
