Benhabib, Seyla, 1950-. Dignity in adversity: human rights in troubled times. Cambridge, UK ; Malden, MA: Polity Press, 2014, originally 2011, reprinted 2014, xi, 298pp., PAPERBACK, messy ink underlining on about 10 pages in chapter 9 on political theology, book is curved and first few pages corner bumped, still good as reading copy despite damage. The language of human rights has become the public vocabulary of our contemporary world. Ironically, as the political influence of human rights has grown, their philosophical justification has become ever more controversial. Building on a theory of discourse ethics and communicative rationality, this book addresses the politics and philosophy of human rights against the background of the broader social transformations that are shaping the modern world. Rejecting the reduction of international human rights to the Trojan horse of a neo-liberal empire's bid for world power, as well as the conservative objections to legal cosmopolitanism as encroachments upon democratic sovereignty, Benhabib develops two key concepts to move beyond these false antitheses. International human rights norms need contextualization in specific polities through processes of what she calls 'democratic iterations.' Furthermore, such norms have a 'jurisgenerative power, ' in that they enable new actors to enter fields of social and political contestation; they promote new vocabularies for public claim-making and anticipate a justice to come. -- CONTENTS: Introduction : cosmopolitanism without illusions -- From The dialectic of enlightenment to The origins of totalitarianism : Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer in the company of Hannah Arendt -- International law and human plurality in the shadow of totalitarianism : Hannah Arendt and Raphael Lemkin -- Another universalism : on the unity and diversity of human rights -- Is there a human right to democracy? Beyond interventionism and indifference -- Twilight of sovereignty or the emergence of cosmopolitan norms? Rethinking citizenship in volatile times -- Claiming rights across borders : international human rights and democratic sovereignty -- Democratic exclusions and democratic iterations : dilemmas of just membership and prospects of cosmopolitan federalism -- The return of political theology : the Scarf Affair in comparative constitutional perspective in France, Germany and Turkey -- Utopia and dystopia in our times.

Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Fourth printing [stated]. vi, [2], 145, [1] pages. Notes. Index. Sir Lawrence David Freedman, KCMG, CBE, PC, FBA (born 1948) is a British academic, historian and author specializing in foreign policy, international relations and strategy. He has been described as the "dean of British strategic studies" and was a member of the Iraq Inquiry. He is an Emeritus Professor of War Studies at King's College London. Freedman held positions at the International Institute for Strategic Studies and Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) before he was appointed, in 1982, Professor of War Studies at King's College London. He was head of the department until 1997. In 2000, he was the first head of the college's School of Social Science and Public Policy. From 2003 to December 2013, he was a Vice Principal at King's College London. He retired from King's in December 2014. Freedman was the official historian of the Falklands campaign. As a concept, deterrence has launched a thousand books and articles. It has dominated Western strategic thinking for more than four decades. In this important and groundbreaking new book, Lawrence Freedman develops a distinctive approach to the evaluation of deterrence as both a state of mind and a strategic option. This approach is applied to post-cold war crisis management, and the utility and relevance of the concept is addressed in relation to US strategic practice post-9/11, particularly in the light of the apparent preference of the Bush Administration for the alternative concept of pre-emption. The study of deterrence has been hampered by the weight of the intellectual baggage accumulated since the end of the Second World War. Exaggerated notions of what deterrence might achieve were developed, only to be to knocked down by academic critique. In this book, Freedman charts the evolution of the contemporary concept of deterrence, and discusses whether - and how - it still has relevance in today's world. He considers constructivist as well as realist approaches and draws on criminological as well as strategic studies literature to develop a concept of a norms-based, as opposed to an interest-based, deterrence. This book will be essential reading for students of politics and international relations as well as all those interested in contemporary strategic thought.…
