Autonomy and Identity are key concepts in both political and feminist thought and have played central roles in both fields. Although there has been much academic work on both concepts there has arguably been little that has addressed the connections between autonomy and identity.
Autonomy and Identity seeks to draw innovative links between these concepts in order to develop a new understanding which sees autonomy as a process by which we change and develop our identity. It draws on thinkers from the canon of political thought such as G.W.F. Hegel, Mary...

In the context of economic downturn, global climate change and theoretical perspectives such as 'risk society', the world we live in today seems to be intensely aware of the problems that we face and the lack of solutions generated by traditional, cynical politics and politicians.

It argues that a new methodology is possible in politics and citizenship studies to offer an optimistic and theoretically rigorous...

Honor: A Phenomenology is designed to fix all of these problems. A ground-breaking examination of honor as a metaphenomenon, this book incorporates various structures of social control including prestige, face, shame and affiliated honor and the rejection of said structures...
