Confronting Tyranny: Ancient Lessons for Global Politics (2005)
Edited by Toivo Koivukoski & David Edward Tabachnick

Motivated by the re-entry of tyranny into political discourse and political action, this new collection of essays compares ancient and contemporary accounts of tyranny in an effort to find responses to current political dilemmas. Identified by Plato and Aristotle as the worst kind of regime, the concept of tyranny was called into question during the Enlightenment and pushed to the margins in twentieth-century objective political science, along with the language of good and evil.

But now, in our globally interconnected world, we realize that there has not been an end to evil and the horrors of tyranny have not disappeared. Confronting Tyranny brings together distinguished scholars to explore the lessons of ancient political philosophy for today's global politics.
