In these two important lectures, distinguished political
philosopher Seyla Benhabib argues that since the UN Declaration of
Human Rights in 1948, we have entered a phase of global civil
society which is governed by cosmopolitan norms of universal
justice--norms which are difficult for some to accept as legitimate
since they are sometimes in conflict with democratic ideals. In her
first lecture, Benhabib argues that this tension can never be fully
resolved, but it can be mitigated through the renegotiation of the
dual commitments to human rights and sovereign self-determination.
Her second lecture develops this idea in detail, with special
reference to recent developments in Europe (for example, the
banning of Muslim head scarves in France). The EU has seen the
replacement of the traditional unitary model of citizenship with a
new model that disaggregates the components of traditional
citizenship, making it possible to be a citizen of multiple
entities at the same time.
The volume also contains a substantive introduction by Robert
Post, the volume editor, and contributions by Bonnie Honig
(Northwestern University), Will Kymlicka (Queens University), and
Jeremy Waldron (Columbia School of Law).
