The Empowered Self: Law and Society in an Age of Individualism - Hardcover
$124.83
by Thomas M. Franck (Author)
This book examines the gradual emancipation of the individual in national and international law and the changing social attitudes towards personal choice in constituting identity. It demonstrates that this desire of persons for choice is not limited to Western industrial society but a historical development powered by such independent variables as urbanization, the communications revolution, education, and economic development.
