Abstract:

What is political freedom? Many, especially liberal, philosophers have followed Isaiah Berlin in insisting we understand liberty as essentially about the absence of interference in the life choices of individuals. However “neo-Roman republicans,” prominently Quentin Skinner and Philip Pettit, have challenged Berlin’s view. They argue that political freedom is better understood as the absence of domination, where “domination” consists in being under another person’s power in the manner of a slave or a despot’s subject. Such forms of power undermine freedom in virtue of being arbitrary -- i.e. u

Abstract:

It is commonly contended by the political right that freedom and equality are mutually incompatible values. This ‘incompatibility argument’ can be characterized as positing a trade-off between freedom and equality, such that the more a society realizes of one, the less it is able to realize of the other. Talk of trade-offs between values implies the possibility that they can be subjected to quantitative analysis, and in order to make sense of the trade-off interpretation of the incompatibility argument I identify quantifiable conceptions of freedom and equality.

Abstract:

This thesis has two main objectives, one specific and one more general. Specifically, its aim is to analyse Stanley Benn's liberal theory of autonomy and show how that theory is flawed. The second, more general objective of this thesis is to show by implication that the entire strand of liberal autonomy, of which Benn's theory is representative, does not provide a firm ground for liberal freedom. That strand of liberal autonomy always defends the ideal of autonomy as a "good" toward which we should all strive. This teleological approach identifies autonomy as a "positive" freedom - that is "f

Since 1980, many countries have passed new intellectual property laws, or revised their laws. The same period witnessed the birth of more trade associations which work to combat unauthorised copying.

National responses to piracy and counterfeiting are often determined by how deeply local interests are affected either way. Since the intellectual property repertoire of most developing economies is usually much smaller than that of industrialised economies, the costs to the former and the loss t

This thesis considers how the law should manage conflicts between religious freedom and the prohibition of sexual orientation discrimination.

In particular, it argues that proportionality is a conciliatory method of reasoning because it provides context-dependent and nuanced answers to these issues, providing scope for re-assessment in future cases,

Use of the human rights framework as a political strategy among Iranian–Americans and other allies acting from across geographic, political, economic, religious and other boundaries is therefore risky.

The thesis proposes a substantive moral, reconstructive theory of the practice of constitutional rights law as it has emerged in the last 60 years in various jurisdictions all over the world.

It thus stands in striking contrast to the conceptions of rights endorsed by philosophers who almost unanimously regard rights as protecting a limited range of very important in

Abstract:

When African states were under colonisation, the colonial masters violated the rights of the African people &ndash<br>men, women and children- with impunity. The protection and promotion of human rights was, however, not high on the agenda of African countries at independence. This is reflected in the 1963 Charter of the Organisation of African Unity, which does not accord the promotion and protection of human rights the status they deserve.

In 1997 the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) initiated a project to promote and defend the right to information.

Abstract:

Under the auspices of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights the right to freedom of expression is said to be held by everyone and to include the freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority, subject to the limitation clauses outlined in Article 10(2). Whilst the text of Article 10 therefore makes no explicit reference to specifically artistic expression, the European Court of Human Rights has, in its interpretation of ‘information and ideas’, nevertheless accepted that artistic expression does indeed fall with
