The Problems of Communitarian Politics

This book brings together and substantially revises a number of articles, lectures and seminar papers written since the publication of The Politics of Community, coauthored with Nicola Lacey. In that book we critically examined both sides of the liberal versus communitarian disputes, finding that, when they are viewed from the perspective of feminism - a political project which seeks to establish a world characterised by sexual equality - both camps are revealed to be unable to provide models of person, society, social institutions and political processes which are adequate to that task.
