| Description: |
An exploration of the individual and civic values of associational freedom in a liberal democracy, which also considers the moral and constitutional limits of claims to associational freedom. The text is part of the UNIVERSITY CENTRE FOR HUMAN VALUES series. |
| Synopsis: |
Americans are joiners. They are members of churches, fraternal and sororal orders, sports leagues, community centres, parent-teacher associations, professional associations, residential associations, literary societies, national and international charities, and service organizations of seemingly all sorts. Social scientists are engaged in an argument about whether decreasing proportions of Americans over the past several decades have been joining secondary associations, but no one disputes that freedom of association remains a fundamental personal and political value in the United States. Why is freedom of assocation valuable for the lives of individuals? What does it contribute to the life of a liberal democracy? This volume explores the individual and civic values of associational freedom in a liberal democracy, as well as the moral and constitutional limits of claims to associational freedom. |
