Acknowledgements
This book, which explores some aspects of John Stuart Mill’s political thought, and whose earlier and slightly different version in Japanese has appeared in 2012, originates in my doctoral research at University College London and reflects the subsequent postdoctoral research at the European University Institute and Kyoto University. In its making, I have accrued many debts, a few of which I acknowledge here.
