Note publique d'information : Résumé éditeur : "The Rights of Others examines the boundaries of political community
by focusing on political membership - the principles and practices for incorporating
aliens and strangers, immigrants and newcomers, refugees and asylum seekers into existing
polities. Boundaries define some as members, others as aliens. But when state sovereignty
is becoming frayed, and national citizenship is unravelling, definitions of political
membership become much less clear. Indeed few issues in world politics today are more
important, or more troubling. In her Seeley Lectures, the distinguished political
theorist Seyla Benhabib makes a powerful plea, echoing Immanuel Kant, for moral universalism
and cosmopolitan federalism. She advocates not open but porous boundaries, recognising
both the admittance rights of refugees and asylum seekers, but also the regulatory
rights of democracies. The Rights of Others is a major intervention in contemporary
political theory, of interest to large numbers of students and specialists in politics,
law, philosophy and international relations"
