- Title
Sorting and the ecology of freedom of association.
- Authors
Soon, Valerie
- Abstract
The ecological conception says that the right to exclude and the right against interference are not grounded in the value of self-determination in sorted environments. Rather, the negative conception is nested within the ecological conception, which fleshes out the background conditions against which the negative conception gains its connection to self-determination. By fleshing out these background conditions, the ecological conception displaces the implications of the negative conception for sorting - in particular, the implications of the right to exclude and the right against interference. If freedom of association is a cause of economic segregation, then according to the classical liberal's challenge, the right to exclude and the right against interference should block the government from undertaking desegregation measures such as school integration and mandating mixed-income housing. The negative conception gains its value only where the ecological conditions are satisfied; by itself, the negative conception is an insufficient conception of freedom of association.
