  • Homelesnesss in Spain: Rights Violation Beyond Housing
    HOMELESNESSS IN SPAIN: RIGHTS VIOLATION BEYOND HOUSING Summary: Homelessness is a form of extreme social exclusion affecting 33,000 people in Spain and which is directly related to poverty. It is a phenomenon impacting different groups all of them vulnerated in their right to access a decent house. The lack of access to an adequate house entails the vulneration of other rights such as the right to access health care services or safety itself. Homelessness is a phenomenon that could be solved in 8 years with the adequate public policies. In Spain, housing is a right included in the Constitution and in the international treaties which is vulnerated every day. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include in their objective 11.11, “to ensure that everyone has access to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services by 2030”. On the other side, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights stresses that international law “acknowledges the right everyone has to an adequate level of life, including an adequate housing (…)2”. Likewise, principle number 19 of the document “The European Pillar of Social Rights” adopted by the EU mentions the duty to provide access to social housing or aids for a good quality housing for those people who are in need. In the Spanish legislation, article 47 of the Constitution states the right to enjoy from a decent and adequate housing; but that disposition is set in the “guiding principles of social and economic policies” and they are rights that can only be claimed before ordinary jurisdiction as to what the concerning laws may stipulate.

Tsai Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.bu.edu/faculty_scholarship Part of the Law and Philosophy Commons CAN SANDEL DETHRONE MERITOCRACY? Boston University School of Law Public Law & Legal Theory Paper No. 21-09 February 2021 Robert L. Tsai Boston University School of Law Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3777285 Can Sandel Dethrone Meritocracy? Robert L. Tsai† In the past, Michael Sandel has inveighed against modes of debate that bracket moral questions and exhorted Americans to discuss controversial issues in openly ethical terms, without telling us whose moral conception should prevail. His inviting and probing style, coupled with his insistence that you couldn’t have a just society without being judgmental, has made him an academic sensation.1 The title of his new book, The Tyranny of Merit,2 disparages merit, but is coy about whether the idea is problematic in the abstract or in practice. About halfway through the book, I felt that he had finally slipped off the fence on the question under consideration. Merit was not a laudable concept that should be saved. As the pace of the book quickened, so Sandel became more urgent in trying to persuade us there is something intrinsically corrosive about the idea itself. Sandel contends that a meritocratic manner of approaching the important things in life is objectionable for two reasons. First, it may actually lock-in inequality rather than ameliorate it by layering a sense of unjustified desert on top of existing inequities.

  • Racialization and Aporophobia: Intersecting Discriminations in the Experiences of Non-Western Migrants and Spanish Roma
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Racialization and Aporophobia: Intersecting Discriminations in the Experiences of Non-Western Migrants and Spanish Roma Zenia Hellgren * and Lorenzo Gabrielli * GRITIM-UPF, Department of Political and Social Sciences, Pompeu Fabra University, 08005 Barcelona, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] (Z.H.); [email protected] (L.G.) Abstract: In this article, we address a gap in the scholarship on (super)diversity, discrimination and racism by placing the experiences of non-western migrants and Roma people in the same concep- tual framework of stigmatization based on racialization and aporophobia. Including a (formally non-recognized) national minority, the Spanish Roma, in such an analysis implies moving from a framework of superdiversity applied to immigrants to a broader one, which also applies the notion of superdiversity to the racialized citizens of a country, shifting the focus from inner-group features to exogenous othering processes by the mainstream society. We aim to also contribute to the literature on the race–class binary with our empirically grounded analysis of how racialization and aporopho- bia intersect in the negative stereotyping of people who are cast as outsiders based on both their race/ethnicity and (assumed) socio-economic status. Data from several different research projects on migrant and Roma inclusion/exclusion in Spain were used for the analysis, which focuses on the intersections between race and class in the narratives on exclusion and discrimination by 185 migrant and Roma men and women that were interviewed between 2004 and 2021. The analysis shows that our Roma and migrant respondents perceive forms of discrimination based on racialization and Citation: Hellgren, Zenia, and aporophobia that are similar in several ways.
