Opis

This book proposes a cosmopolitan ethics that calls for analyzing how economic and political structures limit opportunities for different groups, distinguished by gender, race, and class. The author explores the implications of criticisms from the social sciences of Eurocentrism and of methodological nationalism for normative theories of mobility. These criticisms lend support to a cosmopolitan social science that rejects a principled distinction between international mobility and mobility within states and cities. This work has interdisciplinary appeal, integrating the social sciences, political philosophy, and political theory.

Recenzje

"Sager's book is insightful, clear, and consistent in its central critique. It deserves attention ... for its clarity in pointing out alternative perspectives for theorizing about migration and mobility." (Daniel Dzah, The Journal of Value Inquiry, Vol. 54, 2020)
"Dr Miao Han's book: Central Bank and the Financial Crisis is a timely work to examine central banks' legal frameworks, crisis management tools, and latest institutional reforms. ... the book offers valuable suggestions for policy-makers in the process of reforming monetary authorities and financial supervisory regimes. It also appeals to scholars from a variety of backgrounds in law, business, finance, political economy and public policy, as well as university lecturers who teach banking law and financial regulation." (Lerong Lu, EuCML Journal of European Consumer and Market Law, Vol. 3, 2018)
