IDEEN & ARGUMENTE THE HUMAN RIGHT TO DEMOCRAC...

The Human Right to Democracy is the first major study to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date
account of the debate. It reconstructs the relevant positions in that debate  identifies the
key points of disagreement  and proposes an understanding of the human right to democracy that
might form the basis of a wide consensus. The book rejects the idea of a comprehensive right to
democratic institutions  and instead argues for a minimal human right to democracy which is
best understood as an individual's right to voice. The human right to voice is a right  enjoyed
by any individual independently of his or her place of residence or nationality  to be heard
and supported in cases of severe injustice that is tolerated or condoned by the political
community or polity of which the individual is a member. By bringing together human rights
discourse and democratic theory  as well as taking into account practical politics  this study
broadens the scope of the debatefrom a sometimes overly-narrow focus. The book is of interest
not only to political philosophers  but also to international lawyers  diplomats 
representatives of civil society  human rights activists  and specialists in development
economics.
