Normative reconstruction and social character of freedom in Axel Honneth
No full textO presente objeto de pesquisa busca proceder ao estudo e identificação dos traços essenciais envolvidos na abordagem teórica das relações sociais e políticas trazidas na obra O Direito da Liberdade do filósofo alemão Axel Honneth. Faz-se uma análise da influência hegeliana sobre o conceito de liberdade, assim como dos fatores relacionados com o suprimento das carências subjetivas, mediadas pelas diferentes “esferas” sociais. Honneth, assim, procura trazer à tona a compreensão de um novo modelo de liberdade advindo da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel, o qual se distingue substancialmente dos modelos tradicionais. O autor busca evidenciar a limitação das teorias da justiça de tradição liberal, invocando a necessidade de uma visão integrada das relações sociais experimentadas nas esferas referidas por Hegel, concebendo-se uma experiência concreta de liberdade social. Nesse sentido, evidencia-se o caráter interdisciplinar e emancipatório do método de reconstrução normativa como base teórica para a justificação pública nas sociedades modernas.This research object aims to study and identify the essential traits involved in the theoretical approach of social and political relations brought in the work Freedom’s Right by the german philosopher Axel Honneth. It analyses the hegelian influence on the concept of freedom, as well as the factors related to the supply of subjective needs, mediated by the different social "spheres". Honneth thus seeks to bring to light the understanding of a new model of freedom stemming from Hegel’s Philosophy of Law, which differs substantially from traditional models. The author seeks to highlight the limitation of liberal theories of justice, invoking the need for an integrated view of the social relations experienced in the spheres referred to by Hegel, conceiving a concrete experience of social freedom. In this sense, the interdisciplinary and emancipatory character of the normative reconstruction method is evidenced, as a theorical basis for public justification in modern societies
Government decentralization as a disincentive for transnational terror? : an empirical analysis
No full textUsing panel data for a maximum of 109 countries over the years 1976-2000, we empirically analyze the impact of decentralization on the occurrence of transnational terror. Our results show that expenditure decentralization reduces the number of transnational terror events in a country, while political decentralization has no impact. These results are robust to the choice of control variables and method of estimation
Does government decentralization reduce domestic terror? An empirical test
No full textUsing a country panel of domestic terror attacks from 1998 to 2004, we empirically analyze the impact of government decentralization on terror. Our results show that expenditure decentralization reduces domestic terror, while political decentralization has no impact. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V
Formal institutions and subjective well-being: Revisiting the cross-country evidence
No full textA long tradition in economics explores the association between the quality of formal institutions and economic performance The literature on the relationship between such institutions and happiness is however rather limited and inconclusive In this paper we revisit the findings from recent cross-country studies on the institution-happiness association Our findings suggest that their conclusions are qualitatively rather insensitive to the specific measure of happiness used while the associations between formal institutions and subjective well-being differ among poor and rich countries Separating different types of institutional quality we find that in low-income countries the effects of economic-judicial institutions on happiness dominate those of political institutions while analyses restricted to middle- and high-income countries show strong support for an additional beneficial effect of political institutions Our results bear Important implications that we discuss in the concluding section of the paper (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserve
A new error bound result for Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problems and its algorithmic application
No full textWe present a new algorithm for the solution of Generalized Nash Equilibrium Problems. This hybrid method combines the robustness of a potential reduction algorithm and the local quadratic convergence rate of the LP-Newton method. We base our local convergence theory on a local error bound and provide a new sufficient condition for it to hold that is weaker than known ones. In particular, this condition implies neither local uniqueness of a solution nor strict complementarity. We also report promising numerical results. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York
