Description
Liberty and Security by Conor Gearty explores why many people struggle to enjoy true liberty and security in their lives. In our 'neo-democratic' world, universal liberty and security are often empty promises. This book offers an explanation of how this has come about, critiquing the present age that tolerates it, and sets out a vision for a better future where these values can be truly enjoyed by everyone. Gearty argues that neo-democracies disguise injustice at their core, and even established democracies are moving in the same direction. Drawing on scholarship in law, human rights, and political science, this book presents a new vision of universal freedom, one that builds on the achievements of our democratic past without discarding them. A compelling critique of our current world, Liberty and Security provides a thought-provoking analysis of how we can create a more just and equitable society.
