Читать книгу Is Self-Determination a Dangerous Illusion? - David Miller - Страница 5

This book was written in the delightful surroundings of the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm, where visitors have no specific obligations other than to meet occasionally for fika to consume coffee and kanelbullar. I should like to thank Gustaf Arrhenius, Ludvig Beckman and the staff of the Institute for the support they provided, and for stimulating conversations on topics more or less closely related to self-determination. Material from the book was presented there and also to political theory workshops at Uppsala University and Nuffield College, Oxford: I am very grateful to everyone who offered comments and made suggestions at those meetings. Thanks are due, too, to George Owers and three readers for Polity Press for providing detailed comments on the manuscript, in the process saving me from a number of faux pas. Last but not least, Margaret has been a constant source of advice and encouragement.
