Böcker av Benjamin Gregg

The nation-state operates on a logic of exclusion: no state can offer citizenship and rights to all people in the world. In The Human Rights State, Benjamin Gregg proposes ways to decouple rights from citizenship, preserving the nation state, in modified form, and allowing human rights to become part of its domestic constitution.

At the center of pluralistic societies like that of the United States is the question of how to make broadly consensual social policy in light of the different moral values held by a heterogeneous population and more. This book develops an approach to deal with conflicting values in the policymaking process.
