This collection of essays examines how nationalism and religion are threatening democracy, the rule of the law, and freedom of expression throughout the world. It points to nations who, by tighteneing their borders to stem the tide of illegal immigrants, are abandoning their commitment to the international rights of man. Similarly, an unlikely alliance has been forged between the Vatican and the leaders of fundamentalist Islam in defence of a perceived threat to common traditional values. The essays show how the proponents of political correctness denigrate all developments in post-Enlightenment civilization as elitist , leaving few reasonable political options.
