Download or read book Democracia sin ciudadanos written by Victoria Camps and published by Trotta. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los retos de las democracias liberales es la construcción de una ciudadanía moral, donde los ciudadanos se sepan sujetos no sólo de unos derechos fundamentales, sino también de unos deberes cívicos. Algunas de las teorías morales contemporáneas, como el comunitarismo y el republicanismo, han subrayado ese déficit que convierte a las sociedades actuales en conjuntos de individuos atomizados que ejercen su libertad sin cooperar a favor del interés público. Nuestra democracia es, en muchos aspectos, una «democracia sin ciudadanos», con rasgos preocupantes como la falta de civismo, la desafección política y la poca participación en los asuntos que conciernen a todos. Los ensayos que componen este libro constituyen una serie de reflexiones en torno a las dificultades de nuestro tiempo para definir la función del ciudadano. Se analizan las realidades que hacen especialmente difícil que el deber de civilidad sea asumido como algo intrínseco a la condición de ciudadano. Realidades como el peso de la economía, el poder de los medios de comunicación, el resurgir de los nacionalismos, el declive de la fraternidad y, en definitiva, la existencia de personalidades indecisas, desapegadas y desmoralizadas. La realidad es la de una «democracia contra sí misma», según la expresión de Marcel Gauchet, que, entre otros objetivos, debe repensar el papel que la educación ha de tener en la construcción de una ciudadanía más activa y comprometida. Esta obra interesará tanto a los teóricos de la ética y de la política, como a quienes se enfrentan a la tarea de educar, al gobierno de las administraciones o sencillamente se cuestionan cuál debiera ser el lugar del ciudadano en nuestras democracias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La democracia liberal tiene a su disposición una bella historia, que se repite a si misma en todas las lenguas: una historia de libertad y de progreso, de horizontes infinitos de retos a superar y de individuos, grupos y sociedades enteras aspirando a un mundo mejor. Esta retórica común del ‘futuro radiante’ casa mal con el aquí y el ahora desde el que se escribe, el de una comunidad política desordenada, con divisiones ideológicas y partidistas que no parecen sino intensificarse y con un estado de ruido y confusión—la famosa ‘crispación’—que amenaza con romperse en mil pedazos. ¿Por qué esta especie de desorden bipolar entre la autocomplacencia y la exasperación en un mundo al que definimos como demócrata y liberal? En este ensayo, incisivo y provocador, Víctor Pérez-Díaz explora este malestar generalizado de las democracias liberales y alerta sobre la necesidad de respondernos a la pregunta de si, en la actual coyuntura histórica de desorden, estas sociedades tienen la capacidad o el poder suficiente para hacer frente a sus problemas representativos y existenciales.

Book excerpt: The majority of citizens in the world today do not trust their political representatives, the mainstream political parties, the established political institutions or their governments. This widespread crisis of legitimacy underlies a series of dramatic changes that have taken place in recent times in the global political landscape, such as the unexpected election of Donald Trump, Brexit, the demise of traditional political parties and the election of a political outsider in France, the transformation of the political system in Spain (including the secessionist movement in Catalonia), the rise of the extreme right in Europe and the nationalist challenges that threaten the European Union. In this short but wide-ranging book Manuel Castells analyses each of these processes and examines some of the potential causes of people’s disaffection towards the institutions of liberal democracy, including the effects of globalization, the impact of media politics and the internet, the increasing corruption of politicians, the insulation of a professional political class from civil society and the critique of the existing order by new social movements. He also examines the impact of global terrorism and war on the xenophobia and racism that are fuelling the surge of extremism among a growing proportion of the population. The fact that many of these trends are present in very different contexts suggests that we are witnessing a deep-seated crisis of the model of democracy that has been the cornerstone of stability and civility in the last half century.

Download or read book Social Movements in Times of Austerity: Bringing Capitalism Back Into Protest Analysis written by Donatella della Porta and published by Polity. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen an enormous increase in protests across the world in which citizens have challenged what they see as a deterioration of democratic institutions and the very civil, political and social rights that form the basis of democratic life. Beginning with Iceland in 2008, and then forcefully in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, Greece and Portugal, or more recently in Peru, Brazil, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Ukraine, people have taken to the streets against what they perceive as a rampant and dangerous corruption of democracy, with a distinct focus on inequality and suffering. This timely new book addresses the anti-austerity social movements of which these protests form part, mobilizing in the context of a crisis of neoliberalism. Donatella della Porta shows that, in order to understand their main facets in terms of social basis, strategy, and identity and organizational structures, we should look at the specific characteristics of the socioeconomic, cultural and political context in which they developed. The result is an important and insightful contribution to understanding a key issue of our times, which will be of interest to students and scholars of political and economic sociology, political science and social movement studies, as well as political activists.

Download or read book Work's Intimacy written by Melissa Gregg and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a long-overdue account of online technology and its impact on the work and lifestyles of professional employees. It moves between the offices and homes of workers in the knew "knowledge" economy to provide intimate insight into the personal, family, and wider social tensions emerging in today’s rapidly changing work environment. Drawing on her extensive research, Gregg shows that new media technologies encourage and exacerbate an older tendency among salaried professionals to put work at the heart of daily concerns, often at the expense of other sources of intimacy and fulfillment. New media technologies from mobile phones to laptops and tablet computers, have been marketed as devices that give us the freedom to work where we want, when we want, but little attention has been paid to the consequences of this shift, which has seen work move out of the office and into cafés, trains, living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. This professional "presence bleed" leads to work concerns impinging on the personal lives of employees in new and unforseen ways. This groundbreaking book explores how aspiring and established professionals each try to cope with the unprecedented intimacy of technologically-mediated work, and how its seductions seem poised to triumph over the few remaining relationships that may stand in its way.

Download or read book The Inclusionary Turn in Latin American Democracies written by Diana Kapiszewski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American states took dramatic steps toward greater inclusion during the late twentieth and early twenty-first Centuries. Bringing together an accomplished group of scholars, this volume examines this shift by introducing three dimensions of inclusion: official recognition of historically excluded groups, access to policymaking, and resource redistribution. Tracing the movement along these dimensions since the 1990s, the editors argue that the endurance of democratic politics, combined with longstanding social inequalities, create the impetus for inclusionary reforms. Diverse chapters explore how factors such as the role of partisanship and electoral clientelism, constitutional design, state capacity, social protest, populism, commodity rents, international diffusion, and historical legacies encouraged or inhibited inclusionary reform during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Featuring original empirical evidence and a strong theoretical framework, the book considers cross-national variation, delves into the surprising paradoxes of inclusion, and identifies the obstacles hindering further fundamental change.

Download or read book Foucault and Neoliberalism written by Daniel Zamora and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault's death in 1984 coincided with the fading away of the hopes for social transformation that characterized the postwar period. In the decades following his death, neoliberalism has triumphed and attacks on social rights have become increasingly bold. If Foucault was not a direct witness of these years, his work on neoliberalism is nonetheless prescient: the question of liberalism occupies an important place in his last works. Since his death, Foucault's conceptual apparatus has acquired a central, even dominant position for a substantial segment of the world's intellectual left. However, as the contributions to this volume demonstrate, Foucault's attitude towards neoliberalism was at least equivocal. Far from leading an intellectual struggle against free market orthodoxy, Foucault seems in many ways to endorse it. How is one to understand his radical critique of the welfare state, understood as an instrument of biopower? Or his support for the pandering anti-Marxism of the so-called new philosophers? Is it possible that Foucault was seduced by neoliberalism? This question is not merely of biographical interest: it forces us to confront more generally the mutations of the left since May 1968, the disillusionment of the years that followed and the profound transformations in the French intellectual field over the past thirty years. To understand the 1980s and the neoliberal triumph is to explore the most ambiguous corners of the intellectual left through one of its most important figures.

Download or read book Surveillance Studies written by David Lyon and published by Polity. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of surveillance is more relevant than ever before. The fast growth of the field of surveillance studies reflects both the urgency of civil liberties and privacy questions in the war on terror era and the classical social science debates over the power of watching and classification, from Bentham to Foucault and beyond. In this overview, David Lyon, one of the pioneers of surveillance studies, fuses with aplomb classical debates and contemporary examples to provide the most accessible and up-to-date introduction to surveillance available. The book takes in surveillance studies in all its breadth, from local face-to-face oversight through technical developments in closed-circuit TV, radio frequency identification and biometrics to global trends that integrate surveillance systems internationally. Surveillance is understood in its ambiguity, from caring to controlling, and the role of visibility of the surveilled is taken as seriously as the powers of observing, classifying and judging. The book draws on international examples and on the insights of several disciplines; sociologists, political scientists and geographers will recognize key issues from their work here, but so will people from media, culture, organization, technology and policy studies. This illustrates the diverse strands of thought and critique available, while at the same time the book makes its own distinct contribution and offers tools for evaluating both surveillance trends and the theories that explain them. This book is the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to understand surveillance as a phenomenon and the tools for analysing it further, and will be essential reading for students and scholars alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume looks at the past and the present of European citizenship, and, by implication, its future. The aim of the investigation is theoretical and practical. It is based on the conviction that knowledge is essential for decision making, political or otherwise; and that more knowledge is needed to make decisions about European citizenship. Attitudes towards such vital political and ethical issues as 'citizenship' are commonly based on general impressions and opinions, rather than on a critically-founded understanding. As historians and specialists in other social and human sciences, we believe it is our duty to contribute to the common patrimony of understanding and insight, so that informed citizens can make informed decisions. One part of the book is called Work, gender and society. it contains the articles from Waaldijk, Laikos and Hageman.

Download or read book Politics in Crisis? written by Jana Jonasova and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring and challenging the assumption that politics is in crisis, this volume brings together a series of conference papers from the University of Nottingham Post-Graduate Conference of April 2013. It includes fourteen research papers from contributors from universities around the world, as well as an afterword written by Professor Michael Freeden of the University of Nottingham. Speaking to the common theme of Politics in Crisis?, the papers draw on a range of different theoretical and methodological perspectives in order to critique the notion of politics as both a theoretical concept and political practice. The volume brings together conference discussions centred around British Politics, International Political Economy, International Relations, and Political Theory. It is divided into three sections: the first focuses predominantly on the crisis at the heart of political institutions; the second considers crises in political action using several international cases; and the third emphasises crises within political theorisation. The afterword demonstrates the significance of each of these in questioning whether or not politics is in crisis. This volume offers an engaging read for academics and practitioners alike, as well as anyone interested in the dangers of democratic deficit, the challenges to political transformation, and the difficulties of developing systems of governance in Europe and beyond.

Download or read book The Deconstruction of Employment as a Political Question written by Amparo Serrano-Pascual and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide-ranging European perspectives brought together in this volume aim to analyse, by means of an interdisciplinary approach, the numerous implications of a massive shift in the conception of ‘work’ and the category of ‘worker’. Changes in the production models, economic downturn and increasing digitalisation have triggered a breakdown in the terms and assumptions that previously defined and shaped the notion of employment. This has made it more difficult to discuss, and problematise, issues like vulnerability in employment in such terms as unfairness, inequality and inadequate protection. Taking the ‘deconstruction of employment’ as a central idea for theorising the phenomenon of work today, this volume explores the emergence of new semantic fields and territories for understanding and regulating employment. These new linguistic categories have implications beyond language alone: they reformulate the very concept of waged employment (including those aspects previously considered intrinsic to the meaning of work and of being ‘a worker’), along with other closely associated categories such as unemployment, self-employment, and inactivity.
