Description

This course charts the aspirations of contemporary political philosophy both to grapple with both the larger demands of ideal justice and the very real problems inside the state. It examines these issues via the seminal texts in the field of justice, the state, institutional theory, and substate national claims (as a rubric encompassing nationalism, ethnicity, indigeneity), and so includes discussions of recent work on normative theories of liberalism, self-determination, freedom, territory, group rights, historic injustice & nationalism.
