Libertarianism, Book/Article Reviews
New In the Journals – December 2011
This post continues the series started here, in which I present a selection of articles published or forthcoming in academic journals that might be of interest to readers of this blog. As before, the focus is on articles in political philosophy, political theory, and legal theory. And as before, if I’ve left out anything that you think our readers should take a look at, please feel free to share the information in the comments thread!
I decided not to post abstracts this time. In almost every case, the abstract can obtained by clicking through, even in the case of gated links.
