{"product_id":"states-of-emergency-in-liberal-nomi-claire-lazar-9780521172974","title":"States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies","description":"In an emergency, statesmen concentrate power and suspend citizens' rights. These emergency powers are ubiquitous in the crisis government of liberal democracies, but their nature and justification is poorly understood. Based on a pluralist conception of political ethics and political power, this book shows how we can avoid the dangers and confusions inherent in the norm\/exception approach that dominates both historical and contemporary debate. The book shows how liberal values need never - indeed must never - be suspended, even in times of urgency. Only then can accountability remain a live possibility. But at the same time, emergency powers can sometimes be justified with reference to extra-liberal norms that also operate in times of normalcy. By emphasizing the continuity between times of normalcy and emergency, the book illuminates the norms of crisis government, broadening our understanding of liberal democratic government and of political ethics in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nomi Claire Lazar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521172977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521172974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Nomi Claire Lazar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946712793343,"sku":"9780521172974","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_208d6aa3-4aeb-4d5b-be49-2effd48f745e.jpg?v=1681514707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/states-of-emergency-in-liberal-nomi-claire-lazar-9780521172974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
