Beschreibung:
Deen K. Chatterjee is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Utah. He is the author of several books and articles in the areas political philosophy, applied ethics, and philosophy of religion and culture.
The chapters in this volume deal with timely issues regarding democracy in theory and in practice in today's globalized world. Authored by leading political philosophers of our time, they appear here for the first time. The essays challenge and defend assumptions about the role of democracy as a viable political and legal institution in response to globalization, keeping in focus the role of rights at the normative foundations of democracy in a pluralistic world.
