English | 2005 | pages: 287 | ISBN: 0231131240 | PDF | 2,1 mb
Has the international movement for democracy and human rights gone from being a weapon against power to part of the arsenal of power itself?

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.
