Revista española de educación comparada
2016
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave también en inglés Se pretende analizar cómo el Budismo, Judaísmo, Cristianismo e Hinduismo interpretan la figura del inmigrante dentro de su cosmovisión. A partir de la metodología cualitativa de análisis de contenido, se reconoce cómo la naturaleza de estas religiones determina su interpretación del fenómeno de la inmigración. En los resultados, como fruto de los hallazgos encontrados y su comparación, se argumenta que la mediación intercultural se erige en herramienta privilegiada para el encuentro interreligioso y el reconocimiento socioeducativo de la realidad de la inmigración. La discusión concluye con cuestiones …
The Roots of Terror
2020
Risk would serve as a fertile ground to move resources, otherwise would be stagnated, so that elite may centralize and solidify “extractive institutions” to enhance the economic performance. The war of all against all, predicated by Hobbes sets the pace to the war of few blocs to yield a supreme authority over the rest. The theory of globalization is reluctant to explain how the world tends to a centralization of resources and violence. Here we come across with a paradox, if the XXth century posed a lot of states making the war to forge their own identity (as it was the case in Europe and US who participated in two total wars), within the state a sentiment of nationhood persisted over other…
The German Fascists: Nazi Political Culture
2019
The rise to power of National Socialism in early 1933 made Germany become the second fascist regime and seemingly confirm fascism’s universal character. In this text, Morant examines Nazism as the German exponent of the fascist political culture by focusing both on the most characteristic elements of its world view (anti-Semitism, the myth of the Volksgemeinschaft, its nature as a political religion and its totalitarian ambitions) and the visible representations of a movement that paid special attention to future generations and did not neglect (non-Jew) women, since they constituted at least half of the “national community”. Many of these elements distinguish Nazism from its reactionary na…

Leadership and spirituality in business and public administration: a cross-cultural empirical study comparing the USA and France
2013
National audience; In this discussion we build on previous work on the role of ethics in shaping the behaviour of leaders in business and public administration to investigate the relationship between leadership spirituality, the environment springing from such leadership, and the resulting followers’ attributions of leader effectiveness in the USA and France. Survey data collected from the USA and France were used to test a composite construct of spiritual leadership including (a) accountability, (b) rationality, and (c) honesty. The results of hypothesis tested suggest followers’ attributions of leaders’ positive outcomes increase in proportion with increases in leader’s spirituality. Thes…
Les victimes de viol devant les tribunaux à la fin du Moyen Âge d'après les sources dijonnaises et lyonnaises
2005
At the end of the Middle Ages, the manner in which the courts of justice punished rapists clearly shows how seriously such crimes were judged at that time. Endeavoring to increase their juristic power and worrying that the propagation of rape would corrupt the entire society and threaten its survival, impelled the judges and their officials —princes, bishops, and municipal bodies — to deal with all complaints and to initiate inquiries about them. A study of the progressive steps undertaken in the preliminary investigations of these cases reveals that after an inquiry into the accuser's reputation, the judges demanded numerous proofs from the victim about the rape. Moreover, a clinical exami…
Conflicts and Reconciliation in the Postmillennial Heritage-Policy Discourses of the Council of Europe and the European Union
2019
AbstractLähdesmäki analyses the heritage-policy discourses of the EU and the Council of Europe. She particularly discusses how these institutions deal with the challenges the idea of heritage faces in today’s Europe and the opportunities that these may present to respond to these challenges. The analysis shows how the EU and the Council of Europe seek to reconcile heritage-related conflicts by approaching heritage as a space for civil participation, interaction, intercultural dialogue, and conversation about divergent values and narrations of the past. However, their policy discourses often relay on a static and materialist notion of heritage. This kind of discourse maintains geographical, …
La Unión Liberal en el sistema político isabelino. Concepciones, alcances y limitaciones (1858-1863) The Liberal Union in the political Elizabethan s…
2017
Este artículo pretende revisar el estado actual de conocimientos sobre una formación política, la Unión Liberal, que presidió el Gobierno más largo y estable de la era isabelina. El unionismo es un proyecto político que tradicionalmente ha sufrido la desatención de la historiografía por ser considerado continuación o solución estratégica para que el moderantismo clásico se perpetuase en el poder. Mi investigación trata de cuestionar esta línea interpretativa y enfatizar que el unionismo puede agrietar más si cabe la tesis de la debilidad del liberalismo español.La Unión Liberal fue un experimento político, original e innovador, que bajo premisas ya contempladas en la cultura liberal, reinte…
Cyberbullying and Empathy in the Age of Hyperconnection: An Interdisciplinary Approach
2020
Considering cyberbullying as a challenging frontier of analysis in the social sciences, we find ourselves today with the duty to analyze it within a much broader social context. Indeed, we must take into account the logic of exclusion, as a fact. Today, in the logic of how the Internet works, a thin line separates the victim from the perpetrator; this is also due to the Internet we know today, made up of a mass and a headless power. Trying to amplify this dichotomy, we can say that today we live in the era of the so-called “ban-opticon” (or the logic of prohibition). This logic ranges from simply removing Facebook friends from the list, to excluding sources of knowledge. This article has fo…
State Sovereignty: Balancing Effectiveness and Legality/Legitimacy
2018
This chapter aims to examine one of the most interesting topics in the contemporary internationalist debate, namely the crisis of effectiveness as the ultimate or sufficient criterion for achieving statehood and territorial sovereignty. Since the 1970s the perception that international law can no longer accept social reality as it is but promotes and imposes standards of justice and common values has become increasingly widespread. More recently, the ensuing discussion between realists and legalists emerged as one of the central topics addressed within the framework of the advisory procedure concerning Kosovo’s declaration of independence. By discussing and critically appraising the normati…
