Introduction to provisional theory -- Provisionalism and democratic theory -- Provisionality and property -- Citizenship and provisional right -- Provisional and conclusive environmental politics -- Conclusions.
"Written in a direct style, Provisional Politics builds on Elizabeth Ellis's prize-winning interpretation of Kant's theory of provisional right to construct a new theory of justice under conditions of agency and plurality. She develops this new perspective through a series of cases ranging from the treatment of AIDS widows in Kenya to the rights of noncitizens everywhere, as well as the clash between democratic decision-making and the politics of species conservation. The book concludes with a sobering discussion of the probable limits of political agency."--BOOK JACKET.
