I diritti umani parlano agli Stati. Ma solo a essi? E non anche agli individui in quanto soggetti di diritto internazionale? E se i diritti umani si rivolgono anche agli individui, qual è il loro scopo? La tesi di questo libro è che i diritti umani sono strumenti di lotta contro tutto ciò che impedisce di decidere autonomamente del proprio destino. Prima però di poter parlare di un 'universalismo degli oppressi', occorre chiedersi: coloro che vivono in condizione di subalternità sono in grado di appropriarsene? E desiderano farlo?

Andrei Marmor
Anteprima del libro

Social conventions are those arbitrary rules and norms governing the countless behaviors all of us engage in every day without necessarily thinking about them, from shaking hands when greeting someone to driving on the right side of the road. In this book, Andrei Marmor offers a pathbreaking and comprehensive philosophical analysis of conventions and the roles they play in social life and practical reason, and in doing so challenges the dominant view of social conventions first laid out by David Lewis. Marmor begins by giving a general account of the nature of conventions, explaining the differences between coordinative and constitutive conventions and between deep and surface conventions. He then applies this analysis to explain how conventions work in language, morality, and law. Marmor clearly demonstrates that many important semantic and pragmatic aspects of language assumed by many theorists to be conventional are in fact not, and that the role of conventions in the moral domain is surprisingly complex, playing mostly an auxiliary and supportive role. Importantly, he casts new light on the conventional foundations of law, arguing that the distinction between deep and surface conventions can be used to answer the prevalent objections to legal conventionalism.Social Conventions is a much-needed reappraisal of the nature of the rules that regulate virtually every aspect of human conduct.

'This admirable and comprehensive collection should prove of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the financial crisis.' Tyler Cowen, George Mason University, US 'The Great Crash of 2008 has raised profound questions concerning the orientation of modern economics and the adequacy of its theory. Those justifiably looking for alternatives will find this book invaluable. It contains a rich array of alternative perspectives on the crisis, and it will hopefully help stimulate the further theoretical developments that are so urgently required.' Geoffrey M. Hodgson, University of Hertfordshire, UK This innovative book focuses on the current global financial crisis and the inadequacies of the economic theories being used to guide policy. In so doing, it tackles the economic theories that have been used firstly to understand its causes and thereafter to contain the damage it has brought. The contributors bring together different perspectives from across the entire spectrum of economic opinion to examine what is likely to be the single most important economic problem of our time. The unifying feature is that all of the authors disagree with the standard mainstream neo-classical models being applied in attempting to comprehend what has gone on and then, more importantly, to devise policies to bring this recession to an end. The problems that modern macroeconomics may have caused in being the basis for economic policy are addressed, and it is concluded that the deepening problems found in economies across the developed world are not due to governments having refused to take the advice of their economic advisors but are in many respects due to their actually having taken this advice. Suggesting alternative ways of understanding how economies work so that other types of policies might be used instead, this book will prove a fascinating read not just for scholars and policy-makers concerned with our macroeconomic and financial problems but for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of our contemporary economic debate.

In this informative book, three philosophers, all experts on the ethics of conflict, examine the various definitions of terrorism and the nature of martyr terrorism. Through accounts of terrorist campaigns, from 19th century Russian terrorism, to the 20th century campaigns in Ireland, Israel and Greece, and contemporary campaigns in Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq, this fascinating book explores the ethical implications of terrorism from a philosophical perspective. Setting out the social, psychological and political causes of terrorism, the book interrogates the cases for and against terrorist activity in terms of just war theory.
Articulate, provocative and stimulating, this timely book is an ideal introduction to an important contemporary social issue.

Perchè obbedire al diritto?
La risposta convenzionalista ed i suoi limiti
Le risposte affermative alla domanda scelta come titolo - Perchè obbedire al diritto? - sono riconducibili a tre alternative: a) la normatività del diritto dipende dalla coazione ("modello del banditismo"); b) la normatività del diritto dipende da ragioni morali ("modello della morale"); c) la normatività del diritto è indipendente sia dalla coazione sia da ragioni morali e deve essere ricondotta a "ragioni giuridiche" ( modello dell'autonomia"). Il convenzionalismo giuridico, che nasce con la practice theory of norms di Herbert Hart, è una versione del modello dell'autonomia. L'angolo visuale da cui in questo libro si guarda alla questione della normatività del diritto è proprio quello del positivismo giuridico hartiano e post-hartiano, caratterizzato dalla cosiddetta "svolta convenzionalista".
Il merito di questa versione del positivismo giuridico è, innanzitutto, quello di non avere trascurato il tema dell'obblico giuridico; in secondo luogo, quello di avere proposto una spiegazione dell'obblicatorietà del diritto almeno in parte originale rispetto alle spiegazioni proposte in precedenza; in terzo luogo, quello di avere tentato di distinguere l'obbligo giuridico rispettivamente dall'obbligo morale e dalla coazione. Aldo Schiavello propone una ricostruzione critica di questo modello di giustificazione della normatività del diritto e difende la tesi che l'autonomia dell'obbligo giuridico dall'obbligo morale è meramente apparente. Sostenere questa posizione, tuttavia, non implica affatto una abiura del positivismo giuridico

Giudici e diritto straniero
La pratica del diritto comparato

Nel diritto contemporaneo crescono anche a livello giurisprudenziale le necessità di scambio e le occasioni di "contaminazione", come conseguenza dell'interdipendenza e stretta interrelazione degli atti e delle situazioni giuridiche. Che si tratti di tutela dei diritti umani, di risarcimenti, di modelli societari, finanziari o di mercato per il commercio e gli affari, i giudici, nelle loro decisioni, possono ispirarsi ad una pluralità di fonti, soprattutto quando il diritto nazionale è obsoleto, poco chiaro o contraddittorio. Nel loro approfondito studio Markesinis e Fedtke analizzano l'operato dei giudici nazionali nel momento in cui si trovano a dialogare con leggi e prassi giuridiche altre, evidenziano il ruolo della mentalità del giudice nell'indirizzarsi al diritto non nazionale, sottolineando le implicazioni del ricorso al diritto straniero in termini di accettazione e adozione di valori etici ed aspirazioni comuni. Il volume prende in considerazione i più importanti sistemi giuridici occidentali, tocca sia l'ambito del diritto privato sia quello del diritto pubblico, ed è corredato dagli interventi di alcuni fra i più autorevoli giudici delle Corti supreme.
Sir Basil Markesinis è professore di Common and Civil Law nell'University College di Londra e a Austin nella University of Texas. Ha inoltre insegnato a Cambridge e a Oxford, dove ha fondato l'Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law. Jörg Fedtke è Direttore dell'Institute of Global Law dell'University College di Londra e insegna Diritto dell'Unione europea a Austin nella University of Texas.

Anteprima limitata

Should the Supreme Court have the last word when it comes to interpreting the Constitution? The justices on the Supreme Court certainly seem to think so--and their critics say that this position threatens democracy. But Keith Whittington argues that the Court's justices have not simply seized power and circumvented politics. The justices have had power thrust upon them--by politicians, for the benefit of politicians. In this sweeping political history of judicial supremacy in America, Whittington shows that presidents and political leaders of all stripes have worked to put the Court on a pedestal and have encouraged its justices to accept the role of ultimate interpreters of the Constitution. Whittington examines why presidents have often found judicial supremacy to be in their best interest, why they have rarely assumed responsibility for interpreting the Constitution, and why constitutional leadership has often been passed to the courts. The unprecedented assertiveness of the Rehnquist Court in striking down acts of Congress is only the most recent example of a development that began with the founding generation itself. Presidential bids for constitutional leadership have been rare, but reflect the temporary political advantage in doing so. Far more often, presidents have cooperated in increasing the Court's power and encouraging its activism. Challenging the conventional wisdom that judges have usurped democracy, Whittington shows that judicial supremacy is the product of democratic politics.

A liberal state is a representative democracy constrained by the rule of law. Richard Posner argues for a conception of the liberal state based on pragmatic theories of government. He views the actions of elected officials as guided by interests rather than by reason and the decisions of judges by discretion rather than by rules. He emphasizes the institutional and material, rather than moral and deliberative, factors in democratic decision making.
Posner argues that democracy is best viewed as a competition for power by means of regular elections. Citizens should not be expected to play a significant role in making complex public policy regarding, say, taxes or missile defense. The great advantage of democracy is not that it is the rule of the wise or the good but that it enables stability and orderly succession in government and limits the tendency of rulers to enrich or empower themselves to the disadvantage of the public. Posner's theory steers between political theorists' concept of deliberative democracy on the left and economists' public-choice theory on the right. It makes a significant contribution to the theory of democracy--and to the theory of law as well, by showing that the principles that inform Schumpeterian democratic theory also inform the theory and practice of adjudication. The book argues for law and democracy as twin halves of a pragmatic theory of American government.

The financial and economic crisis that began in 2008 is the most alarming of our lifetime because of the warp-speed at which it is occurring. How could it have happened, especially after all that we’ve learned from the Great Depression? Why wasn’t it anticipated so that remedial steps could be taken to avoid or mitigate it? What can be done to reverse a slide into a full-blown depression? Why have the responses to date of the government and the economics profession been so lackluster? Richard Posner presents a concise and non-technical examination of this mother of all financial disasters and of the, as yet, stumbling efforts to cope with it. No previous acquaintance on the part of the reader with macroeconomics or the theory of finance is presupposed. This is a book for intelligent generalists that will interest specialists as well.
Among the facts and causes Posner identifies are: excess savingsflowing in from Asia and the reckless lowering of interest rates by theFederal Reserve Board; the relation between executive compensation,short-term profit goals, and risky lending; the housing bubble fuelled bylow interest rates, aggressive mortgage marketing, and loose regulations; the low savings rate of American people; and the highly leveraged balance sheets of large financial institutions.
Posner analyzes the two basic remedial approaches to the crisis, which correspond to the two theories of the cause of the Great Depression:the monetarist—that the Federal Reserve Board allowed the money supply to shrink, thus failing to prevent a disastrous deflation—and the Keynesian—that the depression was the product of a credit binge in the 1920’s, a stock-market crash, and the ensuing downward spiral in economic activity. Posner concludes that the pendulum swung too far and that our financial markets need to be more heavily regulated.

Anteprima del libro

Since the beginning of philosophy, philosophers have sought objective knowledge: knowledge of things whose existence does not depend on one's conceiving of them. This book uses lessons from debates over objective knowledge to characterize the kinds of reasons pertinent to philosophical and other theoretical views. It argues that we cannot meet skeptics' typical demands for nonquestion-begging support for claims to objective truth, and that therefore we should not regard our supporting reasons as resistant to skeptical challenges. One key lesson is that a constructive, explanatory approach to philosophy must change the subject from skeptic-resistant reasons to perspectival reasons arising from variable semantic commitments and instrumental, purpose-relative considerations. The book lays foundations for such a reorientation of philosophy, treating fundamental methodological issues in ontology, epistemology, the theory of meaning, the philosophy of mind, and the theory of practical rationality. It explains how certain perennial debates in philosophy rest not on genuine disagreement, but on conceptual diversity: talk about different matters. The book shows how acknowledgment of conceptual diversity can resolve a range of traditional disputes in philosophy. It also explains why philosophers need not anchor their discipline in the physicalism of the natural sciences.

Underlying the protection of human rights in Europe is a complex network of overlapping legal systems - domestic, EU, and ECHR. This book focuses on the potential for conflict to emerge between the systems where rights overlap and interpretations in different courts begin to diverge. From the perspective of EU law, where the interpretation of rights differs national courts are asked to renounce the constitutional scope of protection, and the interpretations of the European Court of Human Rights, in favor of the scope defined by the European Court of Justice. From the perspective of the ECHR, the European Court of Human Rights is the ultimate authority on rights protection in Europe. This work presents a theory of supranational judicial authority to confront this problem, grounded in an ideal of judicial dialogue. It represents the first attempt to provide a thorough theoretical account of the value of judicial dialogue, and its potential for legitimating judicial decision-making at an international level. Combining theoretical rigor with attention to the practicalities of European human rights law, the book will be accessible to a broad readership of legal theorists, EU lawyers and judges involved in building inter-judicial dialogue.

This volume focuses, comparatively and dynamically, on the reception of the ECHR regime within the national legal orders of the Member States of the Council of Europe. The definition of "legal order" used is expansive, including the legislature, the executive, the judiciary, and any public authority established through constitutional and public law that produces or applies legal norms. The central inquiry of the book is how, through what mechanisms, and to what extent, the national legal orders of the Member States are coordinated with, adapted to, or adjusted by the ECHR - emphasizing both the cooperative and conflictive aspects of reception.The book brings together a series of structured-focused comparisons: each chapter undertaking a comparative case study which collects and analyzes basic data on the reception of the ECHR within national legal orders. These structured-focused comparisons, whose purpose is not so much to test theory, but to develop appropriate theoretical concepts and to generate hypotheses, work on the assumption that comparing two, relatively like cases offer a better opportunity to build more general theoretical frameworks.Through an examination of a set of general questions about how national decision-makers - governments, legislators, and judges - have reacted to the evolution of European human rights law, the chapters enquire how various actors within national legal orders could take decisions to either hinder or to enhance the status of the ECHR. What interests or values, individual or corporate, are judges maximizing? How has this affected the evolution of the ECHR? How do national constitutions take into account treaty law (or international law generally)? Do separation of powers doctrines (or other explicit provisions of public law) permit or prohibit the judicial review of the legal validity of legislative and executive acts with reference to "higher" norms? To what extent should the federal or unitary nature of a Member State make a difference to reception? That is, should we expect the territorial distribution of powers and competences - judicial, legislative, administrative - to have an effect on the status or effectiveness of the ECHR, and if so, how?
