POLITICAL THEORY TODAY NEW Can Liberal States Accommodate Indigenous Peoples? DUNCAN IVISON University of Sydney ‘In this refreshingly clear and succinct book, Duncan Ivison argues against views of Indigenous rights that erroneously presuppose the legitimacy of the liberal state’s unilateral assertion of sovereignty over Indigenous peoples. A must-read for political theorists.’ Melissa S. Williams, University of Toronto ‘This outstanding book, clearly and engagingly written, offers an entirely original response to the widely discussed problem of indigenous rights.’ Paul Patton, Wuhan University The original – and often continuing – sin of countries with a settler colonial past is their brutal treatment of indigenous peoples. Duncan Ivison’s book considers how these states can accommodate indigenous populations today, and contends that we need to move towards a historically and theoretically nuanced liberalism better suited to our times. 190 x 124mm • 160 pages • UK November 2019, US February 2020 HB • 978-1-5095-3297-1 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-3298-8 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available NEW Should Animals Have Political Rights? ALASDAIR COCHRANE University of Sheffield ‘Clear, concise, comprehensive and packed with information, arguments and case studies, this book is the best resource that currently exists for anyone interested in learning about the legal and political status of animals.’ Jeff Sebo, New York University ‘Convincingly argued and engagingly written, Cochrane shows us how the interests of non-human animals ought to be politically protected, advanced and represented in a just society.’ Steve Cooke, University of Leicester All states must make decisions about how to regulate the treatment of animals. In this book, Alasdair Cochrane argues that this must go further. In order to ensure that their interests are taken seriously, it is imperative that we represent them throughout the political process – not only rights to protection, but also to democratic membership. 190 x 124mm • 144 pages • UK November 2019, US December 2019 HB • 978-1-5095-3005-2 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-3006-9 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available NEW What Do We Owe to Refugees? DAVID OWEN University of Southampton ‘Owen provides historical, conceptual, principled, and practical perspectives on questions about refugees. His book is clear and accessible, but also subtle and sophisticated. It greatly advances our understanding of this important issue.’ Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto ‘A sparkling introduction to the central ethical issues raised by refugees from a respected philosopher. This work is a major contribution to our understanding of this great challenge of our time.’ Matthew J. Gibney, University of Oxford Who are refugees? Who, if anyone, is responsible for protecting them? What forms should this protection take? In this engaging and concise book, David Owen provides a clear account of the responsibilities of refugee protection and the forms of international co-operation that will be required to discharge them. 190 x 124mm • 144 pages • UK February 2020, US March 2020 HB • 978-1-5095-3973-4 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-3974-1 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available NEW Is SelfDetermination a Dangerous Illusion?

A first-class read that masterfully engages its critics.’ Anna Stilz, Princeton University ‘In this characteristically intelligent book, David Miller explores the concept of self-determination in its relation to democracy, peoplehood, decolonization and the rise of supranational institutions. He offers a philosophically nuanced and morally compelling defence of self-determination from which his critics especially will learn a great deal.’ Lea Ypi, London School of Economics and Political Science Claims to self-determination are rife in world politics today. But what does self-determination actually mean? Is it meaningful or desirable in the twenty-first century, or merely a dangerous illusion? In this book, David Miller mounts a powerful defence of political self-determination, arguing that it is still both feasible and important. 190 x 124mm • 144 pages • UK November 2019, US December 2019 HB • 978-1-5095-3346-6 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-3347-3 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available To keep up to date with the latest books publishing in your area of interest, join our mailing list by visiting www.politybooks.com/subscribe WWW.POLITYBOOKS.COM 18

POLITICAL THEORY TODAY Can Political Violence Ever Be Justified? ELIZABETH FRAZER & KIMBERLY HUTCHINGS University of Oxford; Queen Mary University of London ‘Drawing on a deep critical engagement with the theme of violence in political thought, Frazer and Hutchings offer a highly original treatment of a vitally important question for contemporary politics. I know of no scholars better qualified to answer it.’ Christopher Finlay, Durham University ‘Rich in critical insight and empirical detail, Frazer and Hutchings’ book is more than a mere academic exercise. It asks about the lived reality of justice and what it might mean to take seriously questions of peaceful cohabitation.’ Brad Evans, University of Bath In this book, Elizabeth Frazer and Kimberly Hutchings ask whether the use of violence can ever be justified in politics. Using examples from contemporary politics and political thought, they carefully explore the various justificatory strategies that have been deployed, and conclude that all attempts to justify political violence invariably fail. 190 x 124mm • 144 pages • 2019 HB • 978-1-5095-2920-9 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-2921-6 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available Is Whistleblowing a Duty? EMANUELA CEVA & MICHELE BOCCHIOLA Both of University of Pavia ‘Ceva and Bocchiola have produced a timely, engaging, and insightful analysis of whistleblowing as a duty of public accountability, not a matter of personal ethics. It is a major contribution to political ethics.’ Candice Delmas, Northeastern University ‘Is Whistleblowing A Duty? is a deeply important contribution to the fields of political theory and professional ethics. It is certain to provoke much constructive debate and discussion amongst scholars and practitioners.’ Rahul Sagar, New York University Recent years have seen a number of high-profile whistleblowers risk their liberty to expose state secrets. Can there be a moral duty to emulate their example and blow the whistle? Leading political philosophers Emanuela Ceva and Michele Bocchiola offer a thorough but crisp discussion of this question from the perspective of political theory. 190 x 124mm • 144 pages • 2018 HB • 978-1-5095-2965-0 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-2966-7 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available Do States Have the Right to Exclude Immigrants? CHRISTOPHER BERTRAM University of Bristol ‘Bertram’s excellent book provides a lucid overview of contemporary philosophical debates about immigration. Its brevity, accessible style, real-world examples, and distinctive perspective will appeal to scholars and students alike. A “must-read”.’ Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto ‘This is a distinctive and immensely accessible contribution to the philosophical debate about immigration. Bertram demonstrates the moral and political costs of the current global migration regime and articulates an attractive ideal of justice in migration.’ David Owen, University of Southampton 190 x 124mm • 144 pages • 2018 HB • 978-1-5095-2195-1 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-2196-8 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available Is Just War Possible?
