 A smaller but growing group of neo-republicans fit more in the mold of left institutionalists (Laborde 2010; Bohman 2004; Buckinx 2011). Generally, left institutionalist neo-republicans are impressed by “expansion” arguments that purport to show that the considerations that motivate us to be concerned about coercion, cooperation, or domination at the domestic level apply to issues of global governance. These left republicans do not expect or want the state to “wither away” but rather think that direct protections against domination at the level of regional or global governance are necessary. In general, left republicans are—at least on global justice issues—less optimistic about the ability of even well-ordered states to manage their affairs in the face of global coordination problems from climate change to immigration and thus argue that global governance regimes need to be designed with their own republican principles in mind and not treated as mere adjuncts to state capacity.
