The aim of the article is to present possible scenarios on maintaining democracy in the EU, while assuming different hypothetical directions in which it could develop as a federation, empire and Europe à la carte. Selected mechanisms, norms and values of the EU system that are crucial for the functioning of democracy in the European Union are the subject of this research. The abovementioned objective of scenario development is achieved through distinguishing the notions of policy, politics and polity in the research. In the analysis of the state of democracy in the European Union both the process (politics) and the normative approach (policy) have been adopted. The characterised norms, structures, values and democratic procedures in force in the EU will become a reference point for the projected scenarios. The projection refers to a situation when the existing polity transforms into a federation, empire or Europe à la carte. The article is to serve as a projection and is a part of a wider discussion on the future of the basis on which the European Union is build.

Sentencing Policy

This chapter sets out the case for adopting a normative approach to conceptualizing the social reality of sentencing. It argues that policy-makers need to comprehend how sentencing is implicated in realizing state values and take greater account of the social forces that diminish the moral credibility of state sponsored punishment. The chapter reflects on the problems of relating social values to legal processes such as sentencing and argues that crude notions of ‘top down’ or ‘bottom up’ approaches to policy-making should be replaced by a process of contextualized policy-making. Finally, the chapter stresses the need for sentencing policy to reflect those moral attachments that bind citizens together in a relational or communitarian sense. It concludes by exploring these assertions in the light of the sentencing approach taken by the courts following the English riots of 2011.

Measurement Of Inequality

AbstractWe develop a normative approach to the measurement of inequality of opportunity. That is, we measure inequality of opportunity by the welfare gain obtained in moving from the actual income distribution to the optimal income distribution of the total available income. Our study brings together the main approaches in the literature: we axiomatically characterize social welfare functions, we obtain prominent allocation rules as their optima, and we derive familiar classes of inequality of opportunity measures. Our analysis captures moreover the key philosophical distinctions in the literature: ex post versus ex ante compensation, and liberal versus utilitarian reward.

Maritime Labor

A Sea Work Agreement is a contract between a shipping entrepreneur and a worker in which the latter agrees to do work for pay as a captain or a member of the ship's crew under the entrepreneur's instructions. As a component of a more considerable agreement, a written or spoken labor agreement must satisfy both subjective and objective legal criteria of an agreement. The topic of this study is the legal arrangement of work agreements at sea for seafarers to promote human welfare. A study was conducted by the Batam authorities and harbormaster's office on the implementation and legal analysis of work agreements at sea for seafarers from an affirming people's welfare perspective. Also, the factors that act as impediments or barriers to solutions for work agreements at sea for seafarers from an affirming people's welfare perspective. This research aims to establish the legal structure of work agreements at sea for seafarers to improve their welfare and the execution and legal analysis of work agreements at sea for seafarers to enhance their welfare. Thirdly, determine the elements that lead to the formation of barriers or obstacles, along with some of the aspects that contribute to their resolution. This study aims to gather primary data via field research utilizing a normative approach. The study's findings show that although the legal control of work agreements at sea for seafarers has been chiefly implemented successfully to enhance people's welfare, there are still many barriers in the sector at both an internal and external level. It is anticipated that both ship entrepreneurs and ship personnel will adhere to their agreed-upon and signed maritime labor agreements, making this a legal requirement for builders. Keywords: Sea Work Agreement, Seafarers.

Fair Access

One of the pillars of the European Union’s Green Deal is the “Just Transition Mechanism”, which is interpreted here as providing fair access to diverse resources; above all, as a far-reaching reorientation of the approach to regional development and policy-making processes. Rooted in a normative approach to the development of just and fair place-based policy towards promoting growth in Poland, this paper aims to highlight the challenges posed by the Just Transition Mechanism in two selected Polish transition territories (Upper Silesia and Bełchatów Basin). The research methodology employs literary critical analysis along with an examination of pertinent documents, strategic plans and programs created at national and regional EU member levels. Additionally, interviews were conducted with key actors across the spectrum of the process. The authors argue that place-based policy, viewed as a new model of shaping regional policy, seeks to meet the expectations of the Just Transition Mechanism and can successfully face the challenges it encounters. The research reveals a significant gap between the analyzed transition territories in terms of knowledge and substantive preparation towards enacting the process. Visible deficits were noted in both regions concerning approaches to programming, particularly with reference to information policy and networking with partners.
