| Synopsis: |
We don't just need democracy. We need just democracy. Among the countless ways in which democracies could be organised, the most democratic is not necessarily the best. Instead, a system that offers the best prospect of making our societies and our world more "just" should be given more consideration. This is the core of the Rawls-Machiavelli programme forcefully advocated and vividly illustrated in this book, a powerful alliance between Rawlsian thinking about social justice and Machiavellian thinking about political institutions. For example, how could our political institutions be reformed in order to better serve intergenerational justice? And how should political institutions be shaped to best fit the specific circumstances of deeply divided societies, or of multilingual countries, or of the European Union? This is the sort of question that is being addressed in this unusual combination of rigorous philosophical arguments, detailed historical accounts and bold political proposals. |
