Abstract

De auteur was veertien jaar lang advocaat in de beruchte death rows van de Amerikaanse staat Florida, waar ter dood veroordeelden op hun executie wachten, vooraleer hij besloot deze rol niet langer te spelen. Het boek is één aanklacht tegen de doodstraf en een pleidooi voor andere advocaten om zijn voorbeeld te volgen en niet langer mee te spelen met heel het lugubere spel rond de doodsstraf: beroep, hoger beroep, gratie, enz... Hij beschrijft hoe het systeem luchtig omspringt met mensen waarvan sommige reeds jaren op een executie wachten terwijl het onder tussen voor iedereen duidelijk is dat zij onterecht zijn veroordeeld. In opperste cynisme haalt hij ook een ander argument aan: een gemiddelde ter dood veroordeelde kost de Amerikaanse belastingsbetaler zes maal meer dan iemand die levenslang kreeg.

Abstract

Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today's idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. Here, historian Samuel Moyn elevates that transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal's troubled present and uncertain future. It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.--From publisher description.

Abstract

In her 2004 book Carol Gould addresses the fundamental issue of democratizing globalization, that is to say of finding ways to open transnational institutions and communities to democratic participation by those widely affected by their decisions. The book develops a framework for expanding participation in crossborder decisions, arguing for a broader understanding of human rights and introducing a new role for the ideas of care and solidarity at a distance. Reinterpreting the idea of universality to accommodate a multiplicity of cultural perspectives, the author takes up a number of applied issues, including the persistence of racism, cultural rights, women's human rights, the democratic management of firms, the use of the Internet to enhance political participation, and the importance of empathy and genuine democracy in understanding terrorism and responding to it. Accessibly written with a minimum of technical jargon this is a major contribution to political philosophy.
