Catherine Yen-Ping Lu. Intervention and the PublicPrivate Distinction in World Politics: A Normative Inquiry. Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Political Science. University of Toronto. 2000. Abstract. How ought one to conceive of state pnvacy in international society, specifically understood as the fkeedom of states Eom external intervention in their domestic affairs? This question lies at the hem of contemporary normative debates about 'humanitarian intervention' in world politics. The formulation ofstate sovereignty as pnvacy reveals the significance of the publiclprivate distinction in disciplining these debates. This work seeks to examine realist, cornrnunitarian, and cosmopolitan conceptions of the pubIic/private constmct in international relations, with a view to constructing a morally defensible interpretation of the public and private Iives of states in international society. My examination reveals the inconsistency, inadequacy and incompleteness of realist and cornmunitarian accounts of state privacy in international society. The atomistic realist conception of privacy as the absence of extemal intervention is misleading as it obscures the social foundations of state pnvacy in international society. At the same the, organic cornmunitarian justifications of privacy are morally problematic to the extent that they rely on idealizations of intrastate politics, placing individual members in positions of vulnerabiiity within states. Both realists and cornmunitarians rely on a false dichotomy between international and domestic normative and political structures that renders the suffering of victims of intrastate violence to be pnvate national tragedies rather than public international injustices. A cosmopolitan perspective, by recognizing the mutual hterco~ectednessof public and pnvate spheres, acknowledges that cases of intrastate violence are not isolated expressions of parhia.national deviance. ii Cosmopolitanism as an ethical perspective entails recognition of common human vulnerabilities derived fkom our mortal coil, and of common human potentialities derived fiom our capacity for reasoned agency. The public interest, in serving the one and many faces of humanity, translates into domestic and international moral obligations to protect individual personal privacy claims to bodily integrity and decisional agency. States' rights to sovcrcignîy as privacf have moral validity only whcn their cxcrcisc is consistcnt with sovereign humanitaian obligations to citizens and non-citizens. A cosmopolitan ethical perspective thus obliges public and pnvate, domestic and international, actors to confront the tragedy of intrastate violence with moral imagination and innovation rather than with moral indifference or despair.

One could not have asked For a more caring, encouraging and diligent supe~sorwho is also an exemplary scholar and teacher. 1 would also like to thank Joseph Carens, CO-supervisorwith David, who persevered through drafts of drafts, and expressed his confidence in my work by playing the bad cop well. Much of this work has been improved by their sympathetic and critical cornrnents. This project was inspired by a comment that Melissa Williams noted on one of my dissertation proposals, in which 1compared the family and the state as private spheres. I have also benefited from her presence on my doctoral committee, and am thankful for her careful comments on my work, as well as her help on the feminist literature on privacy. Frances Harbour gave me a needed nudge in the direction of looking at intervention when she suggested that I submit a proposa1 on 'humanitarian intervention' for an International Ethics panel at the International Studies Association meeting in Toronto in 1997. 1 am gratefid to both Melissa and Fran for their professional contributions, as well as their persona1 support. For rny intellectual education and introduction to political philosophy, 1 was fortunate to have had such senous, engaging and encouraging teachea as Ian Slater and Samuel LaSelva. In my doctoral experience, Edward Andrew contributed informally and positively to my education and work; 1thank him especially for introducing me to Aeschylus' Enmenides, and for his engaging comments made in his capacity as a reader for the doctoral defence. 1 am also thankful to Susan Solomon, whose course on "leaving home" stimulated my thinking on the problematic nature of home and belonging, and directed me specifically to the contemporary Russian case. As well, I am gratefûl to Ronnie Beiner for his contributions as a reader for the doctoral defence, Robert Goodin for his professional support of my work, and Robert Jackson at the University of British Columbia for introducing me to questions of justice in international relations. 1would also like to thank Linda B.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORK UNDER DEMOCRACY
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WORK UNDER DEMOCRACY: LABOR, GENDER AND ARENDTIAN CITIZENSHIP Alison Kathryn Staudinger, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation Directed by: Stephen Elkin, Professor Emeritus Government & Politics In the interest of promoting a co-constitutive theory of democratic citizenship, this dissertation explores three questions. I ask how work is defined and how this definition creates a hierarchy of types of work, which then leads to my second question, which is how definitions of work or what is not work are carried over into the public space of poli- tics and citizenship, such that even legal citizens may be marginalized by the type of work that they do. I first critique democratic theory, particularly as centered on the idea of the public sphere, for failing to think about work, especially the labor that is required to build these political spaces. I then show how the contemporary economy challenges the ability of citizens to engage in political work because it produces conditions of pre- carious labor, ubiquitous work, the depoliticization of work itself, and incompatibility of wage labor and family life. I use two historical case studies to explore how groups have claimed collective rights housed in the substantive needs of communities when asserting the validity of their work for citizenship. I look to the Articles of Confederation and Dan- iel Shays for an example focused on waged labor, and then the temperance and Anti- temperance movements for a consideration of gendered reproductive labor. I then address my third question, which is whether it is possible to promote the political work of co- constituting a shared public world without also denigrating the labor, particularly care labor, that is supportive of this project.

  • Norberto Bobbio's Right and Left Between Classic Concepts And
    Norberto Bobbio’s Right and Left between Classic Concepts and Contemporary Crises M. F. N. Giglioli “Doktor König, der linksgerichtet war, mit Rußland sympathisierte und sich für einen Revolutionär hielt, dem nur eine Revolution fehlt, hörte mit der Andacht zu, die Gegner der bürgerlichen Gesellschaftsordnung für deren Stützen immer bereithalten. Bernheim hielt ihn für einen mächtigen Führer des Proletariats, und er sah in Bernheim einen geheimen Vertrauten der Schwerindustrie. So saßen sie einander gegenüber, die Repräsentanten zweier feindlicher Mächte, persönlich objektiv bis zur Freundschaft und jeder erfüllt von dem Gedanken an die Wirkung, die er auf den andern ausübte.” Joseph Roth, Rechts und Links Eighteen years after the publication of Norberto Bobbio’s classic statement on the concepts of Right and Left (Bobbio, 1994), the dichotomy is as central as ever to the functioning of democratic institutions and to the self-perception of ordinary people. At the same time, its political content appears eroded, to the point where many have claimed it lingers merely as an empty signifier. In order to account for this discrepancy, I will sketch an argument drawing on the pragmatic valence and on the historical development of the Left- Right cleavage. Tracing the paradigm of the dichotomy, underlying Bobbio’s argument, to 19th century debates regarding the speed of progress understood as a linear process ultimately productive of social leveling, I interpret the contemporary predicament not as a transcendence of the antagonism of Right and Left, but as a displacement of the locus of political decision that renders national politics irrelevant for the issues that characterize the dichotomy.

  • Conference: Rhetoric, Between the Theory and Practice of Politics
    Bobbio: the role of intellectuals and the political discourse in modern democracies Arnaldo M. A. Gonçalves PhD (Catholic University of Portugal) Abstract Noberto Bobbio, the Italian Political Philosopher has devoted several of his most relevant essays of political theory to the role of rhetoric within political discourse. In those texts he has tried to compose a political theory with a much focused philosophical component that he intends to oppose to a global theory of law. Bobbio saw the “Theory of Politics” as an equivalent to Political Philosophy and comprehending the four following disciplinary fields: a) the ideal Republic or a utopian society in the sense that is structured on Plato and on Marx; b) the question of legitimacy in the context of modern politics; c) politics as a sort of human activity independent from others; d) the epistemological dimension of political discourse. For the Italian philosopher only Political Philosophy can fulfil the role of securing a methodological and rhetorical supervision of the political discourse as it responds positively to three requisites: a) it is validated by the praxis of politics; b) pursues the objective to elucidate the facts; c) it is orientated by an ethical vision that has its own values. In Bobbio’s discussion of the role of political discourse in modern politics when the discourse is more scientific, it becomes a theory of persuasion and modelling of the others´ views. When politics is taken as an art it becomes a poetic rhetoric, the art of fine speech. Bobbio asserts a universal dimension to this dual distinction in political rhetoric and defines “regulatory discourse” the poetic and artistic dimension of politics and “descriptive discourse” the one that is considered by him as scientific, as it looks to reflect the practice of political interaction.

  • Political Representation and Its Descriptive Conception
    Political representation and its descriptive conception A thesis on the complexity of political representation as a pluralistic concept with a special focus on its descriptive conception Author: T.G. Ooms Programme: Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) Topic: Bachelor’s Thesis Supervisors: Stefanie Beyens, Jonathan Benson Date: 16 August 2021 Institution: Utrecht University Student Number: 6470041 Abstract Parliamentarians in Western liberal democracies barely resemble the people they represent through their characteristics. Political consequences such as distrust, a loss in legitimacy, exclusion of political minorities and over-representation of political elites pose problems to the existing political structure. By answering the research question ‘can a descriptive conception of representation be theoretically and practically unified with a substantive conception of representation within a democratic party system?’, this thesis tries to provide a solution to the abovementioned problems. The thesis provides arguments for the intrinsic and instrumental importance of descriptive representation for political representation, a conception that is argued to be pluralistic in nature. After applying this new, pluralistic conception to a democratic party model that features cartel parties, five suggestions for improved representation arise: to connect representatives more to civil society, to disconnect them more from the state, to use quotes, better recruitment efforts or lotteries to ensure that electoral candidates represent the populace descriptively. Thus, the thesis provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, theoretical and practical analysis of what it means to represent in contemporary democracies. Introduction A core principle that defines democratic government is the principle of representation. Party members that reside in parliament ought to represent the people, having been explicitly mandated to do so through the vote.

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. HONOUR'S ROLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL STATES' SYSTEM* ALLEN Z. HERTZ* INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Studying the First World War's origins, James Joll (1918-1994), Professor of International History at the University of London, offered this insight: "In the late 20th century we perhaps find it easier to conceive of foreign policy as being motivated by domestic preoccupations and by economic interests than by... considerations of prestige and glory. It does not necessarily follow that the men of 1914 thought in the same way as we do."' To recapture that age which ended during the First World War, this essay analyzes the meaning of "honour" as a staple of European political philosophy. The significance of the "word of honour" is then located in the context of European courtly society, where a king's honour is explored in relation to that of his country and in the "international of kings" that was the European States' system until 1917-18.

  • Department of Political Science Comparative Politics Preliminary Examination Reading List
    Department of Political Science Comparative Politics Preliminary Examination Reading List 2003-5/6 (Note changes in the exam format/rules as well as in the reading list.) The preliminary examination in comparative politics is based on a shared reading list. Faculty members from the sub-field have cooperated to create this list, which will remain without significant change until at least 2006. A few works pertain to more than one topic area and thus appear on the reading list in more than one place. It is helpful to think of the reading list both as identifying the most important topic areas in comparative politics and as providing a very basic “toolbox,” or repertoire, of important intellectual strategies for explaining patterns of behavior, attitudes, events, or institutions. These include both theoretical and empirical approaches. This list builds on syllabi in PS 641 and other departmental courses in the sub-field, although you may not have encountered everything in a class. It is wise to review the reading handouts from PS 641 and class notes from courses prior to taking the exam. It is also wise to defer the exam until you have taken an adequate sampling of the courses in the sub-field. We give few honors grades, but almost all students who have won honors over the past five years have taken 6-7 comparative politics courses. Very few students who pass the exam have taken fewer than 5 comparative courses. The Exam The exam includes both a written and an oral component. The written component, which takes the form of a 24-hour take-home test, counts for 65% of the grade.

Quando imaginamos a introdução de uma palavra nova, tendemos a pensar em exemplos tais como o explorador dando nome a um local recém- descoberto, ou o químico preparando uma substância recém-descoberta ou recém-criada. Mas esses exemplos são profundamente enganosos, pois a maioria das palavras não são nomes; e os seres humanos podem, com a mesma facilidade, discursar sobre o que existe e o que não existe. No campo dos fenômenos sociais, culturais e políticos, a relação entre as palavras e o mundo é ainda mais com- plexa, pois esses fenômenos são constituídos pela conduta humana, que é profundamente formada pelo que as pesso- as pensam e dizem, por palavras.
