Description
How do groups - be they religious or ethnic - achieve sovereignty in a post-nationalist world? In Self-Determination without Nationalism, noted philosopher Omar Dahbour insists that the existing ethics of international relations, dominated by the rival notions of liberal nationalism and political cosmopolitanism, no longer suffice.
Urging for a move toward a new concept of eco-sovereignty, based on a reformulation of political self-determination
