| Sommario/riassunto: | 'Governing Animals' explores the role of the liberal state in protecting animal welfare. Examining liberal concepts such as the social contract and representation, Smith argues that liberalism properly understood can recognize the moral status and social meaning of animals and provides guidance in fashioning animal policy. |
