Abstract:
|
Under what circumstances do leaders transfer power via
hereditary succession? Ancient and early modern political thought
suggests that hereditary succession may be useful in establishing the
beneficence and legitimacy of the throne, but how do rulers today
justify turning over rule to their heirs? When do they refrain from
installing a potential heir, and how do they defend their decisions? We
first establish models of hereditary succession – drawn from Aristotle,
Machiavelli, Filmer, Hobbes, and Stuart England – and then assess in
what cases contemporary rulers rely on one or more of these theories
as a template for the explicit choice or rejection of hereditary
succession. In conclusion, we discuss the implications of hereditary
succession for an account of legitimacy in transfers of
power. |
