Produktbeschreibung

All populations, including people living in the United States experience new vulnerabilities with globalization. Peoples' jobs are threatened; there are pressures to migrate; and environmental degradation is epidemic. Immense wealth is concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite. Other countries have revised their constitutions to protect their citizens from these turbulent forces. The US is a major exception, and this book proposes how Americans might think about constitutional revisions.

Rezensionen

Recommended. CHOICE This book elucidates the gap that has emerged between the growing global force of human rights and its restricted representation in American thought and institutions. Blau and Moncada make clear why in an increasingly interdependent world, embracing an expanded and globalized sensitivity to human rights is essential to our own well-being. -- John Hagan, John D.
