Civil Religion, Human Rights and International Relations
Connecting People Across Cultures and Traditions
Edited by Helle Porsdam
This ground breaking book discusses whether human rights can be forged into a common set of transcendent principles against which actions of every nation can be judged and whether such a common understanding, or civil religion, could one day become a vehicle for global peace.
Copyright and Other Fairy Tales
Hans Christian Andersen and the Commodification of Creativity
Edited by Helle Porsdam
The present state of copyright law and the way in which it threatens the remix of culture and creativity is a shared concern of the contributors to this unique book. Whether or not to remain within the underlying regime of intellectual property law, and what sort of reforms are needed if we do decide to remain within this regime, are fundamental questions that form the subtext for their discussions.
