What I will be reading: APSA Shopping list
Starting up my annual book shopping list for APSA. Here's what I already know I'll be looking for. Suggestions in comments for other new or new-ish books I should be on the lookout for welcome. (Read: Plug away, or talk about what you're excited about, or correct and instruct my tastes even if it won't do any good!)
During APSA I'll be solidly mid-move-- my office should be partly packed up by then, but my new office won't yet have its bookcases. So don't expect to see me walking around APSA with my customary huge bags of books; I think the better part of valor will be to have them shipped so I can just leave them boxed up until I move!
Inevitably I won't get some of these. The publishers oddly insist on bringing political science books to the political science convention, instead of bringing precisely the combination of political science, philosophy, history, law, and economics that I want to buy...

Joshua Cohen's Rousseau is excellent.
I read Ripstein's book with a reading group and though it was great.
Have you read Anna Stilz's _Liberal Loyalty_? It's also terrific and seems like something you'd like. (It's from Princeton University Press.)
I have, and I did!
I had no idea Iris Young's last book was actually happening, let alone ready to go for APSA! (Although it's still not on Amazon's horizon). That's exciting news.
Honneth's book on Hegel's social theory is a great read. Rene Girard and Gianni Vattimo have some good dialogue in Christianity, Truth and Weakening Faith, not too in depth though.
