Free Download Nicolas Guilhot, "The Democracy Makers: Human Rights and the Politics of Global Order"
English | 2005 | pages: 287 | ISBN: 0231131240 | PDF | 2,1 mb

Guilhot suggests that these shifting meanings reflect the transformation of a progressive, emancipatory movement into an industry, dominated by "experts," ensconced in positions of power.
