translated, edited, and with an introduction by Max Pensky Does
a global economy render the traditional nation-state obsolete? Does
globalization threaten democratic life, or offer it new forms of
expression? What are the implications of globalization for our
understanding of politics and of national and cultural
identities?In The Postnational Constellation, Jurgen Habermas
addresses these and other questions. He explores the historical and
political origins of national identity, the achievements and
catastrophes of the twentieth century, the future of democracy in
the wake of the era of the nation-state, the political and moral
challenges facing the European Union, and the status of global
human rights in the ongoing debate on the sources of cultural
identity. In their scope, critical insight, and clarity, the essays
present a powerful vision of the contemporary political scene and
the opportunities and challenges facing us. Those new to Habermas's
work will find in this book a lucid and engaging introduction to
one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers. Those
familiar with Habermas's writings will appreciate the application
of his social and political theories to current political
realities."
