Description
Book SynopsisRecognition and global politics examines the potential and limitations of the discourse of recognition as a strategy for reframing justice and injustice within contemporary world affairs. Drawing on resources from social and political theory and International Relations theory, as well as feminist theory, postcolonial studies and social psychology, this ambitious collection explores a range of political struggles, social movements and sites of opposition that have shaped certain practices and informed contentious debates in the language of recognition.
Trade Review‘Kate Schick and Patrick Hayden have gathered talented and forceful contributors who utilize a plurality of philosophical resources to develop recognition in a number of direct, accessible, and useful ways.’
