Equality and Transparency: A Strategic Perspective on Affirmative Action in American Law
ISBN: 9781403963826 / Angielski / Twarda / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can affirmative action policies be convincingly justified? And how have they been legitimized over time? In a pluridisciplinary perspective at the intersection of political theory and the sociology of law, Daniel Sabbagh criticizes the two prevailing justifications put forward in favor of affirmative action: the corrective justice argument and the diversity argument. He defends the policy instead as an instrument designed to bring about the deracialization of American society. In this respect, however, affirmative action requires a measure of dissimulation in order to succeed. Equality and...

ISBN: 9781583671474 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Any such legal...
