The Rights of Others examines the boundaries of political community
by focusing on political membership - the principles and practices
for incorporating aliens and strangers, immigrants and newcomers,
refugees and asylum seekers into existing polities. Boundaries
define some as members, others as aliens. But when state
sovereignty is becoming frayed, and national citizenship is
unravelling, definitions of political membership become much less
clear. Indeed few issues in world politics today are more
important, or more troubling. In her Seeley Lectures, the
distinguished political theorist Seyla Benhabib makes a powerful
plea, echoing Immanuel Kant, for moral universalism and
cosmopolitan federalism. She advocates not open but porous
boundaries, recognising both the admittance rights of refugees and
asylum seekers, but also the regulatory rights of democracies. The
Rights of Others is a major intervention in contemporary political
theory, of interest to large numbers of students and specialists in
politics, law, philosophy and international relations.
