Описание: Justice and Diplomacy is intended for scholars of international relations, human rights and humanitarian law, as well as practising diplomats and jurists engaged in peace negotiations in conflict regions, countries undergoing political transitions following mass atrocities, and other international situations involving suspected war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide.
Описание: The rights revolution in the United States consisted of both sweeping changes in constitutional doctrines and landmark legislative reform, followed by decades of innovative implementation in every branch of the federal government - Congress, agencies, and the courts. In recent years, a growing number of political scientists have sought to integrate studies of the rights revolution into accounts of the contemporary American state. In The Rights Revolution Revisited, a distinguished group of political scientists and legal scholars explore the institutional dynamics, scope, and durability of the rights revolution. By offering an inter-branch analysis of the development of civil rights laws and policies that features the role of private enforcement, this volume enriches our understanding of the rise of the 'civil rights state' and its fate in the current era.

Описание:
In the last half of the twentieth century, legalized segregation ended in the southern United States, apartheid ended in South Africa, women in many parts of the world came to be recognized as having equal rights with men, persons with disabilities came to be recognized as having rights to develop and exercise their human capabilities, colonial peoples' rights of self-determination were recognized, and rights of gays and lesbians have begun to be recognized. It is hard not to see these developments as examples of real moral progress. But what is moral progress? In this book, William Talbott offers a surprising answer to that question. He proposes a consequentialist meta-theoretical principle of moral and legal progress, the "main principle", to explain why these changes are examples of moral and legal progress. On Talbott's account, improvements to our moral or legal practices are changes that, when evaluated as a practice, contribute to equitably promoting well-being. Talbott uses the main principle to explain why almost all the substantive moral norms and principles used in moral or legal reasoning have exceptions and why it is almost inevitable that, no matter how much we improve them, there will always be more exceptions. This explanation enables Talbott to propose a new, non-skeptical understanding of what has been called the "naturalistic fallacy".
Talbott uses the main principle to complete the project begun in his 2005 book of identifying the human rights that should be universal-that is, legally guaranteed in all human societies. Talbott identifies a list of fourteen robust, inalienable human rights.
Talbott contrasts his consequentialist (though not utilitarian) account with many of the most influential nonconsequentialist accounts of morality and justice in the philosophical literature, including those of Ronald Dworkin, Jurgen Habermas, Martha Nussbaum, Phillip Pettit, John Rawls, T.M. Scanlon, Amartya Sen, Judith Thomson.

A user’s guide to understanding contemporary free speech issues in the United States
Americans today are confronted by a barrage of questions relating to their free speech freedoms. What are libel laws, and do they need to be changed to stop the press from lying? Does Colin Kaepernick have the right to take a knee? Can Saturday Night Live be punished for parody? While citizens are grappling with these questions, they generally have nowhere to turn to learn about the extent of their First Amendment rights. The Fight for Free Speech answers this call with an accessible, engaging user’s guide to free speech. Media lawyer Ian Rosenberg distills the spectrum of free speech law down to ten critical issues. Each chapter in this book focuses on a contemporary free speech question—from student walkouts for gun safety to Samantha Bee’s expletives, from Nazis marching in Charlottesville to the muting of adult film star Stormy Daniels— and then identifies, unpacks, and explains the key Supreme Court case that provides the answers. Together these fascinating stories create a practical framework for understanding where our free speech protections originated and how they can develop in the future. As people on all sides of the political spectrum are demanding their right to speak and be heard, The Fight for Free Speech is a handbook for combating authoritarianism, protecting our democracy, and bringing an understanding of free speech law to all.

Ethics, Cultural Criticism
The critical social philosopher is the auditor-general of contemporary society and culture. These essays speak for themselves. Their content may be popular, but their reflections may not be. By promoting our abject failures as successes - my children respect me, our schools are superior, we love nature, we defend freedom, our God is great, and so on - we have found a way to bypass the critical reality check that the wider world around us would present.
We have found a way to escape the critical human freedom that is our universal birthright. This is where the auditor of the human condition, with only hope and a narrow glance to make him equal to that unreality, steps in. If the book's essays and editorials have any merit, it must fall on the side of the world as it is, and not as we, with desperation and misplaced conviction, with jealousy and even rage, desire it to be.
In thirty essays and editorials written between 2016 and 2020, social philosopher G.V. Loewen examines some of our most pressing contemporary issues, finding that they are linked, inevitably and inextricably, with some of the most profound and perennial aspects of the human condition.
With wit, candor and compassion, these short analyses connect our often short-circuited attention to the deeper meaning of the state of the world, spanning the conflicts of nations, sexual identity politics, the climate crisis, global inequalities, the education and raising of children, and our understanding of the darker recesses of our own selfhood.
Author Bio:
G.V. Loewen is the author of forty books on ethics, education, religion, aesthetics, health and social theory, and more recently, metaphysical adventure fiction. He was a professor of the interdisciplinary human sciences for two decades.
