Emergency Politics: Paradox, Law, Democracy

Emergency Politics: Paradox, Law, Democracy

by Bonnie Honig (Author)

Synopsis

Looking at how emergencies in the past and present have shaped the development of democracy, the author argues that democracies must resist emergency's pull to focus on life's necessities (food, security, and bare essentials) because these tend to privatize and isolate citizens rather than bring us together on behalf of hopeful futures.
