Dershowitz* I have been writing about the law and justice for half a century. My first published law review piece appeared in 1960 as a student note in the Yale Law Journal.1 Since that time, I have published nearly thirty books and hundreds of articles covering a wide range of legal, philosophical, historical, psychological, biblical, military, educational, and political issues. Until I listened to the excellent papers presented at this conference on my work, I had never realized-at least on a conscious level-that a single, underlying theme, with multiple variations, runs through nearly all of my writings. As a response to those papers, I will seek to articulate that theme, show how it pervades my writing and teaching, identify some of its roots in the teachings of my own mentors, try to defend its fundamental correctness, and point to several weaknesses and limitations that remain to be considered before I complete my life's work.

  • Emerging Africa: How 17 Countries Are Leading the Way
    Book reviews on global economy and geopolitical readings ESADEgeo, under the supervision of Professor Javier Solana and Professor Javier Santiso. 1 Emerging Africa: How 17 Countries are Leading the Way Radelet, Steven (2010), Washington DC. Center for Global Development. “This book is about a group of 17 emerging African countries comprising more than 300 million people, that since the mid 1990s has begun to undergo dramatic changes in economic growth, poverty reduction and political accountability.” “For two decades between 1975 and 1996, their recorded economic growth per capita was essentially zero. But between 1996 and 2008, per capita growth averaged 3,2% per year, powering a full 50% increase in average incomes in just 13 years.” “The share of people living below the poverty line dropped from 59% in 1993 to 48% in 2005 – a huge drop for a 12-year period.” Basic Idea and Opinion The general—by and large, negative and pessimistic—view of the African continent, its politics, economy and development, is erroneous, unfair and simplistic. Treating all the countries in this continent in the same way is not constructive and does not present a true picture of the reality of Africa. To demonstrate this, one only has to look at the 17 emerging African nations which, since the mid-1990s, have set themselves apart from the others and are emerging as the genuine hope of the region. These are 17 countries whose reality has changed over the last 25 years, thanks to rapid and steady economic growth that suggests a highly promising future. With a total population of some 300 million people, these nations showed an average increase in annual per capita income of 3.2% between 1996 and 2008.

  • Work for Human Development: a Panel Discussion on the 2015 Human Development Report
    Work for Human Development: A Panel Discussion on the 2015 Human Development Report #HDR2015 @HDRUNDP @UNDP @UNDPDC @Georgetown @GeorgetownSFS @GeorgetownGHD @the_IADB @WomenThrive @PatThrive Background Fast technological progress, deepening globalization, aging societies and environmental challenges are rapidly transforming what work means today and how it is performed. This new world of work presents great opportunities for some, but also profound challenges for others. The 2015 Human Development Report calls for equitable and decent work for all. In doing so, it encourages governments to look beyond jobs to consider the many kinds of work, such as unpaid care, voluntary, or creative work that are important for human development. The report suggests that only by taking such a broad view can the benefits of work be truly harnessed for sustainable development. The 2015 Human Development Report presents topics as inequality between men and women at work, the double-edged effects of globalization and the digital revolution, sustainable work and the new agenda for work. Speaker Biographies Selim Jahan Director, Human Development Report Office | United Nations Development Programme Selim Jahan is the Director of UNDP's Human Development Report Office (HDRO) in New York. He was previously Director of the Poverty Practice in UNDP’s Bureau for Development Policy in New York (2007-2014). Mr. Jahan was Deputy Director of the Human Development Report Office and was a member of the Core Team that authored nine global Human Development Reports (1993-2001). Before joining UNDP in 1992, Mr. Jahan held several positions, including Professor of Economics and Director of the Economic Research Unit, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh (1984-92); Economic Adviser, Planning Commission, Government of Bangladesh, (1989-90); Visiting Scholar, School Of Public Policy, University of Maryland, USA (1992) and Lecturer, Department of Economics, McGill University, Montreal, Canada (1983-84).
