Qwestbooks Philadelphia, PA, U. But since it is impossible to discover the true heir of Adam, no government, under Filmer's principles, can require that its members obey its rulers. That he is known as the "father of liberalism" makes a good deal of sense. Considered one of the first of the British empiricists, following the tradition of Francis Bacon, he is equally important to social contract theory. He builds with the elements of power -- slavery is not a right but a sustained state of war, paternal power is different than power of the government. No longer does man owe himself to the common lot, but uses the state to augment his own affairs, relying on the state to protect the commons, but the only protection the commons needs is preservation of property, and defense against transgressions. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries. This is a justified critique on Locke's thoughts, since he was active in the Plantation business therefore slavery. Nov 13, Brian rated it liked it Shelves: politics. To be a slave is to be subject to the absolute, arbitrary power of another; as men do not have this power even over themselves, they cannot sell or otherwise grant it to another.

Locke also mentions a practical benefit of religious tolerance: economic prosperity. Oddly this prospering and industrious society has all taken place prior to the erecting of a state.

In so arguing, Locke accomplishes two objectives. Government is the protector of interests of capitalists while the "labouring class [are] not considered to have an interest". And while the conqueror may seize the person of the vanquished aggressor in an unjust war, he cannot seize the latter's property: he may not drive the innocent wife and children of a villain into poverty for another's unjust acts.

Locke does not say that all subsequent English monarchs have been illegitimate, but he does make their rightful authority dependent solely upon their having acquired the people's approbation.

Miller Jr. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries. This book is a collection of the two most important parts of John Locke's political philosophy: the Second Treatise of Government and a Letter concerning Toleration both published in , in The Netherlands. The first of these two highly influential documents refutes the concept of monarchy's divine right. Property could therefore predate the existence of government, and thus society can be dedicated to the protection of property. The argument proceeds negatively: Locke proposes one power a conqueror could gain, and then demonstrates how in point of fact that power cannot be claimed. This is, however, but the state of war continued 2nd Tr. The Reception of Locke's Politics. Mere agreement does not allow for universal equivalent of value. His Second Treatise is both revolutionary for its time, and conservative for ours. Constitutions where freedoms of individuals were garantueed; religious tolerance; these are important lessons for us. I came to understand Natural Law much better, and it caused me to re-think my parenting and my current level of involvement with local government. But Locke takes another road when he gets to the topic of the degree of power. When one sees the t The foundation stone of the modern state; and being such it is a very technical and concentrated book. In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding , Locke established the philosophy of empiricism, which holds that the mind at birth is a blank tablet. If you want to form a real understanding of these principles, not just regurgitated talking points, then this is the book for you. Locke basically fights against enforced religion, in any form whatsoever. He begins by asserting that each individual, at a minimum, "owns" himself, although, properly speaking, God created man and we are God's property; [17] this is a corollary of each individual's being free and equal in the state of nature. We have John Locke and this essay to thank for our fundamental beliefs in inalienable human rights and freedom from tyranny. Montesquieu's division of power. Richard Ashcraft , following in Laslett's suggestion that the Two Treatises were written before the Revolution, objected that Shaftesbury's party did not advocate revolution during the Exclusion Crisis.

Man comes to agree that money, be it gold, or paper, which cannot spoil, than represent that which we trade it for. Their children retain this right, so an ancient usurpation does not become lawful with time. Locke is one of the many philosophers I am familiar with through secondary sources.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. A Unified Concept of Population Transfer CHRISTOPHER M. GOEBEL* Population transfer is an issue arising often in areas of ethnic ten- sion, from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Western Sahara, Tibet, Cyprus, and beyond. There are two forms of human population transfer: removals and settlements. Generally, commentators in interna- tional law have yet to discuss the two together as a single category of population transfer. In discussing the prospects for such a broad treat- ment, this article is a first to compare and contrast international law's application to removals and settlements. I. INTRODUCTION International attention is focusing on uprooted people, especially where there are tensions of ethnic proportions. The Red Cross spent a significant proportion of its budget aiding what it called "displaced peo- ple," removed en masse from their abodes. Ethnic cleansing, a term used by the Serbs, was a process of population transfer aimed at removing the non-Serbian population from large areas of Bosnia-Herzegovina.2 The large-scale Jewish settlements into the Israeli-occupied Arab territories continue to receive publicity.

  • Mass Displacement in Post-Catastrophic Societies: Vulnerability, Learning, and Adaptation in Germany and India, 1945–1952
    Futures That Internal Migration Place-Specifi c Introduction Never Were and the Left Material Resources MASS DISPLACEMENT IN POST-CATASTROPHIC SOCIETIES: VULNERABILITY, LEARNING, AND ADAPTATION IN GERMANY AND INDIA, 1945–1952 Avi Sharma The summer of 1945 in Germany was exceptional. Displaced persons (UN DPs), refugees, returnees, ethnic German expellees (Vertriebene)1 and soldiers arrived in desperate need of care, including food, shelter, medical attention, clothing, bedding, shoes, cooking utensils, and cooking fuel. An estimated 7.3 million people transited to or through Berlin between July 1945 and March 1946.2 In part because of its geographical location, Berlin was an extreme case, with observers estimating as many as 30,000 new arrivals per day. However, cities across Germany were swollen with displaced persons, starved of es- sential supplies, and faced with catastrophic housing shortages. During that time, ethnic, religious, and linguistic “others” were frequently conferred legal privileges, while ethnic German expellees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) were disadvantaged by the occupying forces. How did refugees, returnees, DPs, IDPs and other migrants navigate the fractured governmentality and allocated scar- city of the postwar regime? How did survivors survive the postwar? The summer of 1947 in South Asia was extraordinary in diff erent ways.3 Faced with a hastily organized division of the Indian sub- continent into India and Pakistan (known as the Partition), between 10 and 14 million Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus crossed borders in a period of only a few months. Estimates put the one-day totals for 2 Angelika Königseder, cross-border movement as high as 400,000, and data on mortality Flucht nach Berlin: Jüdische Displaced Persons 1945– 4 range between 200,000 and 2 million people killed.

  • How Syrian Refugee Families Are Coping During COVID-19
    Tragedy Tears Through Lebanon. Syrians Are Marginalized More Than Ever. As told by Syrian refugees whose lives remain in British Columbia, but compassion flies back home. Syrian refugee family’s youngest daughters, Nour Khalaf (nine years old) standing behind her little sister, Sarah Khalaf (three years old). PRINCE GEORGE, Canada - An eager ray of Saturday sunshine trickles in through Syrian refugee Aliyah Kora's window. The week has finally presented its gift. She instinctively goes downstairs, decamping to her living room. With her husband selling food at the local market and her five children fast asleep, this is the time she has for herself, her one respite, to help quiet the onslaught of worries that plague her thoughts. "Mama?" Her voice makes the turbulent journey to Turkey via WhatsApp, before reaching the ear of her mother. Though she dearly wishes to be in Syria with the rest of her children, Aliyah's mother seeks medical attention, a practically impossible phenomenon in her hometown, Aleppo, stemming from the sheer enormity of the cost. Aliyah's mother is in dire need of heart surgery, having been turned away from Lebanon she remains on the outskirts of Turkey. Aliyah spends the rest of the morning connecting with her brothers and sisters, who have been scattered helplessly throughout Syria, with some edging towards the borders, where food is scarce and death prevailing. The usual tranquility this morning brings her, is however, clouded. Burdened by a fresh layer of misery, afflicting displaced Syrians today, that she so narrowly escaped. This haze of sorrow came about on 4th August 2020 when an explosion fuelled by a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the port of Lebanon's capital city, Beirut, ripped through the city.

  • Forced Population Transfers Resolve Self-Determination Conflicts?
    Can Forced Population Transfers Resolve Self-determination Conflicts? A European Perspective Stefan Wolff Department of European Studies University of Bath Bath BA2 7AY England, UK [email protected] Introduction Self-determination conflicts are among the most violent forms of civil wars that can engulf modern societies. As they are in most cases linked to claims of ethnic, religious, linguistic or otherwise defined groups for secession from, or for political domination in, an existing state they also have repercussions on regional and international stability. Self-determination conflicts can be observed on all continents. Not all of them are violent, but most have a clear potential for violent escalation and are therefore an important concern for international and regional governmental organisations seeking to preserve peace and stability. However, the capacity of organisations like the UN, the OSCE and the EU to do so has only gradually developed over the past decade and is still a far cry from being sufficient. In the past and present, states (and population groups within them) have therefore felt that they had been and are left to their own devices when it comes to preserving their internal stability and external security. The largely incongruent political and ethnic maps of Europe have meant that self- determination conflicts on this continent have mostly taken the form of ethnic conflicts: from Northern Ireland to the Caucasus, from the Basque country to the Åland islands and from Kosovo to Silesia the competing claims of distinct ethnic groups to self-determination have been the most prominent sources of conflicts within and across state boundaries.

  • Liberalism Is Adultism
    Draft of Nov. 24, 2020 Liberalism Is Adultism Deirdre Nansen McCloskey forthcoming (in Spanish) in Antonella Marty, ed., The Handbook of Freedom: A Guide to Economic, Political, and Cultural Liberalism. Bilbao, Spain: Editorial Planeta/Deusto We all want to be adults. You want the self-rule of someone seen as an adult by others in a liberated society. It is an honor and a delight to pursue your own projects harmless to others—knitting, or model railroading—or even helpful to others—working and then trading. Remember how you felt when you first went to high school, so clearly on the way to becoming an adult. Remember how you felt when you earned your first paycheck, and were no longer going to Daddy for all your money. Remember when you cast your first vote. That you want self-rule as an adult does not mean that you want to be lonely, or that you disdain community. In 1819 a French philosopher, Benjamin Constant, spoke of two kinds of liberty, which he called “ancient” and “modern.” The modern one is the lovely self-rule, the paycheck honestly earned. The ancient one is the equally lovely right to participate, in for example a Greek city state, proudly carrying a shield in the phalanx. “Having a voice” is the present-day phrase for it, the dignity among other citizenly dignities of a vote. Without a vote as an adult, you are a social child, a non- person, disregarded, officially subordinated. Some men opposed giving women the vote because women were after all subordinated to their fathers and then their husbands.

  • Indicators for Monitoring the Un Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
    INDICATORS FOR MONITORING THE UN DECLARATION ON THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES A solid framework and a practical tool for assessing the implementation of UNDRIP’s provisions. The indicators serve to detect gaps in implementation, hold duty-bearers accountable, and devise implementation strategies. 1 WHAT IS THE INDIGENOUS NAVIGATOR? The Indigenous Navigator comprises a set of tools for monitoring indigenous peoples’ rights and development. One of these tools is a set of indicators, which serve to pinpoint what to look for when measuring whether the provisions of UNDRIP are implemented in a given community or country. The indicators are structured around 13 thematic domains reflected in UNDRIP and have been systematically developed with a solid foundation in the OHCHR’s methodology for developing human rights indicators.1 Like all other human rights instruments, UNDRIP comprises standards on specific rights and cross-cutting human rights norms. The first step towards identifying the indicators has therefore been to identify the attributes – or building blocks – contained in UNDRIP. Subsequently, measurable indicators have been identified with a view to capturing States’ duties to respect, protect and fulfil indigenous peoples’ human rights. The indicators framework comprises: Structural indicators, which assess the legal and policy framework of a given country. Process indicators, which measure the states’ ongoing efforts to implement human rights commitments through programs, budget allocations, etc. Outcome indicators, which capture the actual enjoyment of human rights by indigenous peoples. The indicators can also be used to measure essential aspects of the SDGs as well as the commitments made by States at the 2014 World Conference on Indigenous Peoples.

  • Female Identity from Repression to Resistance
    CHAPTER VI Female identity From repression to resistance The role of women and issues relating to women’s sexual identity are recurrent themes in Indonesian literature emanating from Bali.1 In Chapter V the centrality of women’s roles in Balinese social relationships that are narrowly defi ned in caste terms was discussed. While issues relating to caste generally enable the construction of female identity in traditional terms and in a domestic context, a variety of other, more modern models of female identity in public contexts are allocated to women in Balinese society and literature. They are portrayed as rape victims, slave traders, prostitutes, pre- marital sexual partners, social and political activists, and symbols of oppression. There is a signifi cant change in the way female characters are depicted in Indonesian literature from Bali throughout the twentieth century. With few exceptions, in works from the colonial and national revolution periods most female characters are depicted as being powerless under a male dominated social and cultural hegemony, whereas in works from the late New Order and reformation periods they fearlessly challenge this oppression. The shift in the representation of women from repression to resistance challenges the widely accepted image of Balinese women as being subservient and sexualized objects and also proposes a new way of defi ning Balinese female identity. In the introduction to a special issue of Rima devoted to women writers and women’s issues in recent Indonesian literature, 1 For a detailed bibliography of short stories and plays discussed in this chapter, see Appendix F.
