The result is a revisionist account of human dignity and law, one focused less on the use of human dignity in our regulations and more on its constitutive implications for the governance of the public realm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part conducts a wide-ranging moral, legal and political analysis of the nature and functions of human dignity.  The second part applies that analysis to three fields of legal regulation: international law, transnational law, and domestic public law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book will appeal to scholars \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book develops an original revisionist understanding of human dignity.
