The Abuse of Power: Confronting Injustice in Public Life

內容簡介

內容簡介 【前英國首相梅伊】濫權：見證政治之不正義英國史上第2位女首相：梅伊，擔任英國首相三年和內政大臣六年。任職中面臨著一系列問題，尤其是濫用權力所帶來毀滅性的後果。從歷史悲劇到議會醜聞，有權勢的人一再選擇濫用權力維護個人或所屬組織的利益，而不是為了無權者的利益。 本書揭露出種種不公現象，也呼籲掌權者更多重視自身以外的利益，這位前首相以親身參與過的最高級別國內和國際的經驗為借鑑，主張對我們應該對政治和公眾事務進行徹底的反思。As Prime Minister for three years and Home Secretary for six years, Theresa May confronted a series of issues in which the abuse of power led to devastating results for individuals and significantly damaged the reputation of, and trust in, public institutions and politicians. From the Hillsborough and Grenfell tragedies, to the Daniel Morgan case and parliamentary scandals, the powerful repeatedly chose to use their power not in the interests of the powerless but to serve themselves or to protect the organisation to which they belonged.The Abuse of Power is a searing exposé of injustice and an impassioned call to exercise power for the greater good. Drawing on examples from domestic and international affairs she was personally involved in at the highest level, including Stop and Search and the Salisbury Poisonings, the former prime minister argues for a radical rethink in how we approach our politics and public life.
