Human Rights and the Reinvention of Freedom - Nick Stevenson - Bog

Bag om Human Rights and the Reinvention of Freedom

This volume seeks to propose a reinvention of freedom under contemporary conditions of globalization, cross-border mobility, and neo-liberal dominance.There are currently two predominant myths circulating about freedom. The first is that in a global age growing numbers of citizens are less concerned with freedom than they are with security. This has meant that states now increasingly control their borders, curtail civic freedoms, regulate the flow of migrants and punish so-called `failed¿ citizens. Secondly, there is the popular presumption that freedom only refers to market freedom and consumerism, implying that the ideas of choice and consumption are interchangeable with ideas of freedom.
