The Sleeping Sovereign
- 310pagine
- 11 ore di lettura
An examination of how the modern idea of constitutional referendums developed and how direct democracy became possible in modern states.
Nationalstaatliche Grenzen definieren die einen als Mitglieder, die anderen als Fremde. Wenn aber die staatliche Souveränität zunehmend ausfranst und die nationale Staatsbürgerschaft immer mehr ausfasert, wie es im Gefolge der Globalisierung geschieht, dann werden auch ihre Definitionen immer unklarer. Hier sieht Seyla Benhabib eine der dringlichsten und problematischsten Aufgaben der heutigen Weltpolitik. In „Die Rechte der Anderen“ untersucht Benhabib die Prinzipien und Praktiken zur Einbindung von Fremden und Immigranten in die bestehende politische Praxis. Sie greift dabei auf aktuelle Beispielfälle zurück, unter anderem auf den »Kopftuchstreit« in Frankreich und Deutschland. Benhabib plädiert – im Sinne Kants – für einen moralischen Universalismus und kosmopolitischen Föderalismus. Sie tritt ein für durchlässige Grenzen – nicht für absolut offene –, wobei sie sich nicht nur für das Recht von Flüchtlingen und Asylsuchenden auf Aufnahme stark macht, sondern auch für das regulative Recht der Demokratien.

On the People's Terms
- 352pagine

According to republican theory, we are free persons to the extent that we are protected and secured in the same fundamental choices, on the same public basis, as one another. But there is no public protection or security without a coercive state. Does this mean that any freedom we enjoy is a superficial good that presupposes a deeper, political form of subjection? Philip Pettit addresses this crucial question in On the People's Terms. He argues that state coercion will not involve individual subjection or domination insofar as we enjoy an equally shared form of control over those in power. This claim may seem utopian but it is supported by a realistic model of the institutions that might establish such democratic control. Beginning with a fresh articulation of republican ideas, Pettit develops a highly original account of the rationale of democracy, breathing new life into democratic theory.
Granica państwowa to zmyślne urządzenie. Jeśli znajdziesz się po niewłaściwej stronie, możesz w mig zmienić się z obywatela w kogoś obcego i pozbawionego praw. Tak jakby po przekroczeniu jej coś zmieniłoby cię w wybrakowany towar, niezasługujący na dobre traktowanie. Z drugiej strony granica to też gwarancja demokratycznej polityki, coś co pozwala zamkniętym nią ludziom decydować o prawach, polityce i moralności. Nie da się więc wymarzyć świata bez granic, ale też nie powinno się patrzeć jak cierpią ludzie, którzy akurat znaleźli się po niewłaściwej stronie, nielegalni emigranci, ludzie szukający schronienia przed wojną, biedą czy tacy, których państwa przestały istnieć. Seyla Benhabib w Prawach Innych proponuje jak pogodzić tę równoczesną konieczność i niemożliwość granic, jak uczynić „czymś płynnym i negocjowalnym”, różnicę między „obywatelami i obcymi, pomiędzy nami i nimi”.
