Abstract

Republican theory has observed a remarkable revival in political philosophy in recent years. The insights of the republican contributions could also be fruitful for European integration, if they are separated from communitarian believes and if republicanism and public good theory a combined in a coherent way. Especially the concept of a “res publica of public goods” seems to be a promising approach; however, some construction sides remain in order to make the approach applicable to European integration.
