Critical Reflections

Contemporary “flexible capitalism” requires novel forms of legal regulation. In this vein, Joshua Cohen, Michael Dorf, Archon Fung, and Charles Sabel have developed a provocative set of proposals for a new mode of regulatory law, what they describe as “democratic experimentalism” or, alternately, “directly deliberative polyarchy.” Their proposal are criticized: they not only fail to take traditional liberal democratic rule of law virtues seriously enough, but it remains unclear whether they can effectively tame and humanize capitalism. Instead, some evidence suggests that their proposals simply amount to a normatively problematic synchronization of the legal system with contemporary high-speed capitalism.

Resumen. Este trabajo se centra en la discusión entre multiculturalismo y feminismo, orientando la atención a las sociedades multiculturales que están llenas de prácticas y tradiciones basadas en las ideologías de género, hecho claramente destacado por investigadores sociales como María Dolors Molas Font y Susan Moller Okin, entre otros. En culturas patriarcales como la nuestra es común permitir e incluso facilitar que los hombres controlen a las mujeres, anulando así su reconocimiento de la dignidad. Según la perspectiva hegeliana del reconocimiento y entendiendo la dignidad con un matiz kantiano, se propone resolver la antinomia entre el multiculturalismo y el feminismo desde un plano educativo. Para ello, la experiencia de la maestra y etnoeducadora Laura Montoya se expone groso modo en la última parte de este trabajo.Palabras clave: multiculturalismo, dignidad de la mujer, reconocimiento, educación, Laura Montoya.Abstract. This work is about the discussion between multiculturalism and feminism, orienting the attention to the multicultural societies are packed with practices and traditions base of gender ideology, a fact that is clearly emphasized by social investigators like Maria Dolors Molas Font and Susan Moller Okin, between others. In patriarchal cultures like ours it is common to allow men to control women, annulling in this way their dignity recognition. According to the perspective hegelian of the recognition and understanding dignity with a Kantian shade, the idea is contributed of that the antinomy between the multiculturalismo and the feminism can solve from an educational plane. For it, the experience of the teacher and etnia educator Laura Montoya is exposed in the last part of this work.Keywords: multiculturalism, dignity of women, recognition, education, Laura Montoya

Opening Up

Hélene Landemore’s Open Democracy challenges today’s democracies to meet their legitimacy deficits by opening up a wide array of participatory opportunities, from enhanced forms of direct democracy, to internet crowdsourcing, to representation through random selection to a citizens’ assembly: “representing and being represented in turn” (p. xvii).  Her aim: to replace citizen consent with citizen power.  The critics advance both praise and misgivings.  Joshua Cohen would prefer Landemore’s proffered innovations as supplements, not alternatives, to the current system. Daniela Cammack would prefer more emphasis on the many forms of mass gathering, not representation.  Peter Stone considers citizens’ assemblies inadequate for popular sovereignty.  Christopher Achen warns of problems inaccurate representation, through both self-selection into the lottery and domination in the discussion. Ethan Lieb argues that particular innovations are useful only in some contexts, and that in each citizens should learn their appropriate role responsibilities. Landemore responds by agreeing, clarifying and rebutting.

AbstractThis paper discusses what type of sociological context is appropriate for Rawls’ ‘property-owning democracy’. Following certain suggestions offered by Rawls and in the work of Joshua Cohen, it explores, in particular, the kind of fraternity and social interaction suitable for citizens in Rawlsian society and the role of the state in engineering these bonds. Utilising a normative framework based on Rawls’ discussion of a property-owning democracy and various data sets, the paper argues that bonds of social trust, active participation in trade unions and enrolment in public schools, and the use of state policy to organise a mixture of public, cooperative, and private economic institutions would be suitable for a Rawlsian society to adopt because it appears that these structures are favourably connected to the ends of Rawlsian justice.
