Review Quotes:
"Iris Marion Young is an important political theorist whose ideas deserve the kind of treatment this edition aims to provide. By focusing on her proposed 'social connection' model of responsibility, this volume attempts to develop one of her last major ideas, bringing it to wider attention and showing its relevance for ongoing debates and concerns in contemporary politics. The essays here are a testimony to the fecundity and potential importance of Young's account of political responsibility."
