ECH 2330 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Futures Contract, James Mill
Document Summary
Our commitment to right and democracy is tightly tied to our sense of control over our lives. Rights are useful because it provides us a framework of what we can, cannot do. Democracy is also a control over our collective destinies, and also individually. The people do not actually rule in a democracy, but they role through representatives. Contemporary politics are driven by the questions around control over our collective right and the in ways in which these play out. Tying democracy and rights to a specific territory is limiting. Democratic right territory - state control over our collective rights. Sovereignty and democracy is tied to a territorial state, that gives us. Territorial control over our lives is increasingly challenged. The fundamental dynamics that govern our lives are as much. The challenges that we see reflect a territorial vs. trans-territorial.
