Drawing on resources from philosophy, economics, law, history, politics, and religious studies, it is designed to deepen understanding of anarchy and the development of anarchist ideas at a time when those ideas have attracted increasing attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe popular identification of anarchy with chaos makes sophisticated interpretations--which recognize anarchy as a \u003ci\u003ekind\u003c\/i\u003e of social order rather than an \u003ci\u003ealternative\u003c\/i\u003e to it--especially interesting. Strong, centralized governments have struggled to quell popular frustration even as doubts have continued to percolate about their legitimacy and long-term financial stability. Since the emergence of the modern state, concerns like these have driven scholars to wonder whether societies could flourish while abandoning monopolistic governance entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard treatments of political philosophy frequently assume the justifiability and desirability of states, focusing on such questions as, \u003ci\u003eWhat is the best kind of state?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWhat laws and policies should states adopt?\u003c\/i\u003e, without considering whether it is just or prudent for states to do anything at all. This Handbook encourages engagement with a provocative alternative that casts more conventional views in stark relief. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts 30 chapters, written specifically for this volume by an international team of leading scholars, are organized into four main parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI.
