Species-level selection reduces selfishness through competitive exclusion.
2007
Adaptation does not necessarily lead to traits which are optimal for the population. This is because selection is often the strongest at the individual or gene level. The evolution of selfishness can lead to a ‘tragedy of the commons’, where traits such as aggression or social cheating reduce population size and may lead to extinction. This suggests that species-level selection will result whenever species differ in the incentive to be selfish. We explore this idea in a simple model that combines individual-level selection with ecology in two interacting species. Our model is not influenced by kin or trait-group selection. We find that individual selection in combination with competitive ex…

‘Less Stale, Only Slightly Less Male, but Overwhelmingly Less Pale’: the 2015 New Conservative Brexiters in the House of Commons
2019
AbstractThis article will study the new face of Conservative Euroscepticism in the House of Commons, with a special focus on the 2015 intake of MPs who were supposedly ‘less stale, male and pale’ and their attitudes to the British referendum on the EU. In this respect, this article will also take a specific interest in new Conservative Black and Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) MPs who turned out to be more active on the ‘leave’ side of the referendum campaign, thus serving as a showcase for the party's strategy of ‘decontaminating’ the Brexit brand and its hyperglobalist geopolitical perspective.

Les Grandes Plaines des Etats-Unis : une Amérique du déclin démographique
2003
The Shinking of Population in the Great Plains of the United States. In the Plain States (Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota), where many of the American counties experiencing losses in population are concentrated, the variety of population dynamics is wider than expected. Besides persistent decline linked to rural outmigration and ageing in remote locations, the is also a rapid growth of the principal metropolitan areas of the region. In several counties, the reversal of demographic fortunes is linked to the recent creation of large meatpacking plants, which have recruited Mexican labor. The sudden arrival of Hispanics in small rural towns has generated tensions. The magnitude…

Caritas e bene comune
2014
Tra il XIII e il XIV secolo in Italia, e soprattutto a Firenze, prende forma una nuova ideologia del «bene comune», molto legata al rafforzamento dello «stato» comunale durante la fase caratterizzata dal dominio del «popolo» . Alla base di questo rinnovamento sta l’esplicita politicizzazione della virtù cristiana della carità. Il legame politico rientrava tradizionalmente nelle categorie dell’amicizia e dell’amore, non della carità, virtù «universale» che legava l’uomo a Dio e gli uomini tra di loro nella comunità della chiesa: il sistema tomista fornisce un rappresentazione codificata di questa logica. Viceversa, alcuni autori, da Tolomeo da Lucca a Remigio de’Girolami a Coluccio Salutati,…
Los "Bienes Democráticos" en la Economía del Bien Común:cuatro vías para su delimitación conceptual
2017
¿Es posible delimitar una nueva categoría económica –los Bienes Democráticos (BBDD)– para poner en marcha y operativizar un nuevo marco dentro del cual concebir la gestión de bienes más indispensablescomo derechos económicos, por su papel central en la realización de los Derechos Humanos? ¿De qué manera podríamos identificar tales Bienes Democráticos? ¿Qué directrices o principios rectores guiarían su búsqueda?Para responder a estas preguntas presentamos una propuesta con la que tratamos de proporcionar los fundamentos necesarios para establecer su delimitación conceptual, desde cuatro aristas o vías que le dan contención: (1) La sociohistórica, con un recorrido por las grandes transformaci…
