Rawls on Markets and Corporate Governance
Like most egalitarian political philosophers, John Rawls believes that a just society will rely on markets and business firms for much of its economic activity—despite acknowledging that market systems will tend to create very unequal distributions of goods, opportunities, power, and status. Rawls himself remains one of the few contemporary political philosophers to explore at any length the way an egalitarian theory of justice might deal with fu…
From nation-building to national engineering
Negotiating Nationalism
This book addresses some of the special challenges that arise when two or more national communities share the same (multinational) state. As a work in normative political philosophy, its principal aim is to evaluate the political and institutional choices of citizens and governments in states with rival nationalist discourses and nation-building projects. The first chapter takes stock of a decade of intense philosophical and sociological debates …
Getting to the Bottom of “Triple Bottom Line”
In this paper, we examine critically the notion of “Triple Bottom Line” accounting. We begin by asking just what it is that supporters of the Triple Bottom Line idea advocate, and attempt to distil specific, assessable claims from the vague, diverse, and sometimes contradictory uses of the Triple Bottom Line rhetoric. We then use these claims as a basis upon which to argue (a) that what is sound about the idea of a Triple Bottom Line is not novel…
Justice and stability in multinational societies
The first line of the first section of the first chapter of John Rawls's monumental first book thunders in a way that almost none of the subsequent lines ever do: 'Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought' (Rawls 1971, p. 3). Although he will apologise in the second paragraph for probably stating his convictions too strongly, he allows himself the rest of the first paragraph to reveal the radical idea …
Citizenship in Diverse Societies
Citizenship in Diverse Societies
Most modern democracies contain significant minority groups whose language, religion, or ethnicity differs from those of the majority. In this book, leading scholars of multicultural issues examine questions related to multiculturalism and citizenship, specifically addressing the issue of whether it is possible in multicultural societies to accommodate these forms of diversity without weakening the bonds of common citizenship. The first chapter i…
The Ethics of Secession as the Regulation of Secessionist Politics
This chapter argues that just‐cause theories of secession are superior to nationalist and choice rivals because only it represents a reasonable institutional response to secessionist politics. It also examines the possibilities for a secession clause within domestic constitutions.
Inevitable and Unacceptable?’ Methodological Rawlsianism in Anglo-American Political Philosophy
This article attempts two parallel tasks. First, it gives a sympathetic explication of the implicit working methodology (‘Methodological Rawlsianism’) of mainstream contemporary political theory in the English-speaking world. And second, principally in footnotes, it surveys the recent literature on justification to see what light these debates cast on the tenets of this methodology. It is worth examining methodological presuppositions because the…

The Ideology of Shared Values
Return of the Citizen
A Democratic Theory for a Democratizing World? A Re-Assessment of Popper's Political Realism
The core of Karl Popper's theory of democracy is re-examined here in light of some of his most recent thoughts on the subject. His discussion of the paradox of democracy contributes a novel – though ultimately unsuccessful – argument to current debates between right-based and goal-based theories of democracy. His theory is also of political interest in a world with so many emerging democracies, because he is much more concerned than most contempo…
