Nowadays, rights are frequently ascribed to groups distinguished by
their nationality, culture, religion or language. Rights are also
commonly ascribed to institutionalised groups, such as states,
businesses, trade unions and private associations. Yet the
ascription of rights to groups remains deeply controversial. Many
people reject the very idea of group rights. Amongst those who do
not, there is radical disagreement about which sorts of group might
possess rights and why. Some believe that group rights threaten the
freedom and well-being of individuals, while others argue that the
rights of groups can complement them. Some claim that group rights
can also be human rights; others find that claim incoherent. The
contributions making up this volume wrestle with these and many
other of the issues that surround group rights. This volume brings
together twenty-four of the journal articles that have contributed
most significantly to contemporary thinking on group rights.
