Seyla Benhabib - Transnational Democracy and Rights Across Borders (Part 2/2)

Описание: "Is the Westphalian map still helpful in a globalizing world?" asks Political philosopher Seyla Benhabib from Yale, "or do we rather need to start thinking across borders and boundaries to really achieve democracy and find solutions to the transnational claim for rights?". Interviewed during ResetDoC's Istanbul Seminars, she suggests we should start considering transnational sights of democracy and rights claims across the porous national borders of our globalized world.
