Description
In his major new work Chandran Kukathas offers, for the first time, a book-length treatment of this controversial and influential theory of minority rights. The author argues that the free society should not be seen as a hierarchy of superior and subordinate authorities but an archipelago of competing and overlapping jurisdictions.Reviews
"The The Liberal Archipelago advances a powerful liberal rejection of the idea of nationalism on the gound that its legitimacy is counterintuitive to liberty of conscience....but the virtue of The Liberal Archipelago is that is does not seek to give definitive answers an impose perspectives... it informs, provokes and challenges its readers to consider alternative ways for conceptualizing social identities and human associations."--Human Rights & Human Welfare
