| Summary: | "This book asks what distinctive contributions political philosophers might make when reflecting on obvious moral failures in public policy. The book argues that political philosophers can and should craft “strategic” arguments for public policy reforms, showing how morally urgent reforms can be grounded, for the sake of discussion, even in problematic premises associated with their opponents. The book develops the general contours of this approach, and then applies strategic theorizing to a set of diverse of policy issues. These range from the abortion debate and financial regulation in the United States, through controversies surrounding the participation of Arab parties in Israel's political process, to global issues, such as commercial ties with oil-rich dictatorships, and the bearing of such ties on global climate change"--Publisher's description. |
