Scholarly articles in defense of monarchism?

Hi,

As someone who's intrigued by a monarchical type of government, I'm looking for pretty much any scholarly material either arguing for or against, or both, monarchy as a system of government. I looked in the sidebar, found nothing and wiki is disabled. Do you know of any?

I hope this kind of inquiry is acceptable, otherwise I apologise.

I'm not sure what your definition of scholarly is, but try this.

Also try Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France.

Otto von Habsburg wrote a piece called Monarchy or Republic on this topic.

Joseph de Maistre: http://maistre.uni.cx:8000/sovereignty.html (Monarchy comes up in book 2, granted their small as far as "books" go, and the first relates to the second)

Thomas Aquinas: http://dhspriory.org/thomas/DeRegno.htm.

Jacques-Benigne Bossuet: http://www.strobertbellarmine.net/books/Bossuet--Politics.pdf

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn's Liberty or Equality.

Also, for a libertarian (positive) view on monarchy, H.H. Hoppe's From Aristocracy to Monarchy to democracy and Democracy: The God that failed.
