Madison\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: History \u0026amp; Theory - General\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadison uses the concept of civil society and his distinctive version of 'communicative rationality' to provide a closely-argued and robust defence of the neo-liberal political and economic tradition. Writing with considerable elegance and humour, the author draws on the hermeneutical and neo-pragmatist traditions, and on a diverse range of evidence and discussion, mainly concerning transitional economies and societies in Eastern Europe and around the world. Providing a systematic analysis of the multi-faceted notion of civil society, this book shows in detail how the three main orders of civil society - the moral-cultural, the political, and the economic - constitute 'spheres of autonomy'. At the same time, it illustrates how these different orders are closely interrelated and interact in a synergetic manner. A unique feature of this study is the way in which the author demonstrates how the logic of the various orders of civil society is, in a way appropriate to the distinct nature of each order, a logic of communicative rationality. The work concludes by arguing that the only sure way of achieving international justice is by the construction of civil society world-wide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929413800087,"sku":"9780415166775","price":4399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415166775.webp?v=1771599519","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-political-economy-of-civil-society-and-human-rights-9780415166775","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
