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 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).
