Human Rights and Democracy - Discourse Theory and Global Rights Institutions (Hardcover, New Ed): Eva Erman Human Rights and Democracy - Discourse Theory and Global Rights Institutions (Hardcover, New Ed)
Eva Erman
R3,750 Discovery Miles 37 500 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume explores the relationship between human rights and democracy within both the theoretical and empirical field. It is a book within the tradition of deliberative democracy, although it focuses on global institutions and human rights rather than nation-state or federalist democracy. Eva Erman problematizes the absence of political rights in the global human rights discourse from a deliberative standpoint. Starting out from and at the same time criticizing Habermas' discourse theory of law and democracy, she makes a significant contribution to a discourse theory of human rights and applies it to a global rights institution, the United Nations' Commission on Human Rights. This is an innovative study that offers tools for democratizing existing global political institutions, and is therefore suitable for philosophers, political theorists, scholars of human rights and those interested in democracy.

The Practical Turn in Political Theory (Paperback): Eva Erman, Niklas Moller The Practical Turn in Political Theory (Paperback)
Eva Erman, Niklas Moller
R677 Discovery Miles 6 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Should social and political practices play a role in the justification of normative political principles? In several sub-domains of political theory, theorists have suggested that practices constrain principles in various ways. This book joins five key debates in the current theoretical literature that have been largely taking place in isolation and identifies common strands of argument and their shared problems. By illuminating these connections and cross-fertilising key debates in the current theoretical literature, it develops a unified way forward for practice-based political theory.
