Download or read book Critical Beings written by Peter Fitzpatrick and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging accounts that would ascribe to them a transitory or incidental place in the establishment of the modern juridical order, this collection argues that excluded or marginalized people are coming to form a new entity - the global legal subject - comparable in ways to other non-state actors operating in the international legal system. It maintains that these global subjects stand as possible precursors to new political ways of being. The book makes an important contribution to debates on law and globalization, and will be of great interest to those concerned with law and the movement of people, law and the formation of identities and law and human rights.
