Notă biografică
The Belgrade Circle, a non-governmental organization, was founded in February 1992 by a group of independent and dissident intellectuals. It gained an international reputation through its courageous struggle against the nationalism, xenophobia and politics of war which spread dramatically through Serbian society during the collapse of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1999. Among many other activities it has published more than forty books, including titles by Jacques Derrida, Jürgen Habermas and Charles Taylor. It also publishes regular editions of the Belgrade Circle Journal.

Recenzii
“The Politics of Human Rights marks the landmark transition from moral principle to political reality by bringing together in one place an unrivaled selection of essays by leading Western thinkers ... It has the additional merit of being edited by a group of dissident intellectuals in the former Yugoslavia, for whom a repressive government and NATO’s intervention have made the politics of human rights of pressing importance. The result makes fascinating but dispiriting reading.”—Times Literary Supplement
