The Human Right to Democracy is the first major study to offer a
comprehensive and up-to-date account of the debate. It reconstructs
the relevant positions in that debate, identifies the key points of
disagreement, and proposes an understanding of the human right to
democracy that might form the basis of a wide consensus. The book
rejects the idea of a comprehensive right to democratic
institutions, and instead argues for a minimal "human right to
democracy" which is best understood as an individual's right to
voice. The human right to voice is a right, enjoyed by any
individual independently of his or her place of residence or
nationality, to be heard and supported in cases of severe injustice
that is tolerated or condoned by the political community or polity
of which the individual is a member. By bringing together human
rights discourse and democratic theory, as well as taking into
account practical politics, this study broadens the scope of the
debatefrom a sometimes overly-narrow focus. The book is of interest
not only to political philosophers, but also to international
lawyers, diplomats, representatives of civil society, human rights
activists, and specialists in development economics.
