Sommario/riassunto

In this paperback edition of a highly successful study, Professor Martin provides an original solution to one of the long-standing issues of political philosophy: the justification of political authority. The author constructs a model political system in which certain kinds of political rights are emphasized, and discusses what the implications of such a system might be for democratic institutions, political allegiance, punishment, and ultimately for the nature of authority itself.

Sommario/riassunto

This book reinforces the need to understand the sources of global change that is taking place and to accommodate it in the world political, social, and economic systems. Linking the United States, China, India, and Russia along with Europe and the Middle East, the author addresses demographics, international trade, technology, and climate change as global challenges that require cooperation in order to be solved. Both academics and policymakers will be enlightened, discovering ways of addressing global change by working together rather than through confrontation.
