Alternative Conceptions of Civil Society
ISBN: 9780691087962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea of civil society has long been central to the Western liberal-democratic tradition, where it has been seen as a crucial site for the development and pursuit of basic liberal values such as individual freedom, social pluralism, and democratic citizenship. This book considers how a host of other ethical traditions define civil society. Unlike most studies of the subject, which focus on a particular region or tradition, it considers a range of ethical traditions rarely addressed in one volume: libertarianism, critical theory, feminism, liberal egalitarianism, natural law,...

The Politics of Reconciliation in Multicultural Societies
ISBN: 9780199233809 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most countries around the world exhibit a long history of exclusion and discrimination directed against ethnic, racial, national, religious, or ideological groups. The underlying justifications for these forms of exclusion have been increasingly discredited by the post-war human rights revolution, decolonization, and by contemporary norms of liberal-democratic constitutionalism, with their commitment to equal rights and non-discrimination. However, even as these older practices and ideologies of exclusion are discredited and repudiated, they continue to have enduring effects. The legacies of...

Criminal Law and Cultural Diversity
ISBN: 9780199676590 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The idea of a cultural defense in criminal law is often ridiculed as "multiculturalism run amok." To allow someone charged with a crime to say "this is my culture" as an excuse for their action seems to open the door to cultural relativism, to jeopardize the protection of fundamental rights, and to undermine norms of individual responsibility. Many scholars, however, insist that cultural evidence is appropriate, indeed essential, for the fair operation of the criminal law. The criminal law is society's most powerful tool for regulating behaviour, and just for that reason we apply strong...

Representation and Citizenship
ISBN: 9780814342466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Concern with representation figures inescapably in the study of citizenship. From the initial formulations of a notion of citizenship in ancient Greece, in which citizens were persons charged with representing the interests of the city-state, concern about who and what gets represented, as well as how and why those people and things get represented, has been central in formulas describing the citizen's relationship to a political community. Since the seventeenth century, the tension between citizens as representatives of the interests of the state and the state as representative of the...

Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights
ISBN: 9780199673018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Zoopolis offers a new agenda for the theory and practice of animal rights. Most animal rights theory focuses on the intrinsic capacities or interests of animals, and the moral status and moral rights that these intrinsic characteristics give rise to. Zoopolis shifts the debate from the realm of moral theory and applied ethics to the realm of political theory, focusing on the relational obligations that arise from the varied ways that animals relate to human societies and institutions. Building on recent developments in the political theory of group-differentiated citizenship, Zoopolis...

Minority Politics in the Middle East and North Africa: The Prospects for Transformative Change
ISBN: 9780367002404 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Projects of democratic reform in the Middle East and North Africa have said little about the place of minorities and minority rights in their vision of reform, implying that these issues are best deferred to some indefinite future. While many people describe the Arab Spring as a `battle for pluralism', there is a reluctance to discuss what this pluralism might actually mean for the political claims of minorities, for fear of triggering divisive conflicts and undemocratic tendencies. Is there an alternative to this fearful deferral of minority politics? Can we imagine `transformative minority...
