Statecraft, which guides practical politics on the basis of general principles and the comparative study of political systems, is integral to Aristotle's political philosophy. Although Aristotle theorized with a view to the ancient Greek polis, his discussions still shed valuable light on vitally important topics such as the preservation of civil society, the importance of moral character and culture for effective citizenship and political stability and progress, and effective political reform in the face of political factionalism. Political practitioners as well as students of contemporary politics will greatly benefit from Aristotle's insights as articulated and examined in this volume. Included are essays on the close connection between Aristotle's politics and ethics, the proper role of political ideals, law and legislation, rights, freedom and autonomy, social planning, and economic institutions such as property commerce, and finance. Aristotle's contributions to statecraft are of enduring value and immediate relevance in today's political landscape.
