From Alterity to Proximity: Emmanuel Levinas on the Natural Law of Love
No full textEmmanuel Levinas’ account of ethics emphasises the face-to-face relation with the other. Levinas’ rich and nuanced phenomenology of this relation traces a dynamic movement – akin to a dance – where the self is continually compelled to both separate herself from and approach the other. Levinas’ emphasis in his first major work, Totality and Infinity, falls on the radical alterity or strangeness of the other. His second major work, Otherwise than Being, shifts the focus to the subject’s need to approach the other, giving rise to a relation of proximity, where the suffering and vulnerability of the other is laid bare. This chapter argues that Levinas’ two major works yield a coherent and compelling account of the diachronic movement of ethical life. Levinas shows, first, how the subject is naturally inclined to self-absorption and enjoyment; second, how this egoistic outlook is inherently unstable; and, third, how the subject’s initial focus on enjoyment creates the separation necessary to assume responsibility for the other. I contend that Levinas’ theory traces what might properly be described as the natural law of love

Can reforming global institutions help developing countries share more in the benefits from globalization?
No full textGlobalization could significantly expand trade, international investment, and technological advances, but the gains from global integration have been unevenly distributed across and within nations. Greater global interdependence has also brought greater macroeconomic volatility, resulting in several serious financial crises in the second half of the 1990s. The global matrix of Bretton Woods and United Nations institutions that developed starting in the 1940s, formed under a different balance of power, in a world of fixed exchange rates and limited capital mobility. Since the 1960s regional financial institutions have emerged because of the greater autonomy of different regions and the greater financial needs of development. The author reviews different proposals for reform of the international financial institutions and changes in the roles of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. He highlights the implications for developing countries of (1) Policy conditionality. (2) The countercyclical role of multilaterals'lending. (3) Greater lending to middle-income than to low-income developing countries. (3) Access to liquidity at times of crisis. (4) Mechanisms for giving low-income countries a greater voice in IMF and World Bank decisionmaking. The author streses the overlapping responsibilities of the Bretton Woods and regional financial institutions and the need to reassess the allocation of responsibilities and to develop better coordination mechanisms between these institutions. Those designing institutional reform must consider the corporate capabilities of each type of institution. The corporate cultures of global and regional institutions differ. So does the kind of knowledge they generate and disseminate, and so do patterns of interactions with, and mechanisms for representation of, client countries.Finally, the author calls attention to the need to harmonize national and global growth-oriented policies in a way that reduces volatility and promotes social equity.Environmental Economics&Policies,Governance Indicators,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform
