About my present and future research
Research statement
‘The Constitution of Socialism’. (Completed project). This monograph attempts to rehabilitate socialism by integrating republican features. By means of constitutional, institutional, and mechanism design, I test whether an attractive, ambitious, coherent, and feasible institutional outline is possible.
‘General Principles of Socialist Republicanism: A Theory of Self-Government, the Common Good, and Social Welfare’. (Ongoing project). This work attempts to develop more systematically a normative body of thought, related to republican socialism. This project involves formulating a set of principles to help outline a theoretical framework corresponding to the institutional framework proposed previously in ‘The Constitution of Socialism’. It should supply a coherent set of arguments in favour of a republican approach to socialism.
‘Praxis: An Essay on Social Reproduction & Counter-Hegemony’. (Future project). This monograph would offer a strategic orientation for counter-hegemony, based on a neo-Gramscian interpretation of Marxism applied to the issue of the social reproduction of class relations under capitalism.
