Extract
In the long process of writing this book I have incurred many debts. I have learned a great deal relevant to this project from my former graduate students, Avery Kolers, Kristen Hessler, Cindy Holder, Stefan Sciaraffa, and Kit (Christopher) Wellman, all of whom provided excellent comments on drafts of this book. My Arizona colleague Tom Christiano has taught me much about democratic theory and Political Philosophy generally; I hope this is evident in the chapters that follow. I also thank David Miller and Will Kymlicka, co‐editors of the series in which the present volume appears, and Margaret Moore, who provided insightful comments on the typescript.
I especially want to thank Kit Wellman for stimulating me to think harder about the nature of political legitimacy and for organizing a workshop in which he and the following scholars generously commented on a draft of the typescript: Andrew Altman, Andrew I. Cohen, William Edmundson, Peter Lindsay, Larry May, George Rainbolt, Andrew Valls, and Clark Wolf. The comments I received from the participants in this workshop were invaluable. They helped me focus the typescript on and the most important points I wish to make, enabling me to correct a number of errors to eliminate several unclarities. I am extremely grateful to Kit for taking the initiative to devise this generous gift to me and to all the participants for their constructive and gracious comments. Special thanks are due to Larry May, whose expertise in international law and philosophical acumen enabled him to make several key suggestions for improving the typescript, and to Andy Altman whose remarks resulted in a clearer and more direct presentation of my central argument concerning the nature of political legitimacy. Those who are interested in the moral foundations of international law should look forward with keen anticipation to May's forthcoming book on international criminal law.
