Abstract
Republicanism has been under-acknowledged within the field of International Relations. It’s been viewed as a broad school of thought, representing civic virtue, liberty and the participation of citizens. This work assists in shedding light on Republicanism as a major, alternative theory within this field.

Republicanism has been under-acknowledged within the field of International Relations. It’s been viewed as a broad school of thought, representing civic virtue, liberty and the participation of citizens. This work assists in shedding light on Republicanism as a major, alternative theory within this field. Through an idea- analysis of Republicanism which pinpoints and shows the arguments behind the neo-Roman republican ideas of Philip Pettit, the ideal of freedom as non- domination is shown as the ideal to establish domestically and internationally.
Liberalism is used to identify why this ideal on liberty cannot be a liberal standpoint. Liberal Institutionalism is used to show the ideas underlining the liberal global order and the changes it’s facing. With the rise of China and other formerly poorer countries, the liberal world order and its’ institutions are being challenged.
In the light of these changes, republican ideas within international democracy, security and justice are shown. As a result, neo-Roman Republicanism supports a world order where no state dominates others. An international order with common forms of governance amidst states, an institutional account of globalized sovereignty and cooperation between republican states. (Less)
