Richard A. Peterson (1932 – 2010) und Paul J. DiMaggio (*1951)
2016
Richard A. Peterson (1932-2010) und Paul J. DiMaggio (*1951) sind zwei fuhrende Vertreter der U.S.-amerikanischen Soziologie der Kunste. Aufgrund mehrerer Gemeinsamkeiten werden sie hier zusammen behandelt, obwohl jeder von ihnen durchaus einen Einzelbeitrag verdient hatte. Gelegentlich wird von einem Lehrer-Schuler-Verhaltnis gesprochen, das 1971 mit einem Studienaufenthalt DiMaggios bei Peterson an der Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, begann.
Promoting self-employment: Does it create more employment and business activity?
2021
International audience; We assess the economic impact of reforms promoting self-employment in the three countries that have implemented such reforms since the early 2000s: the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France. To that end, we use an unbalanced cross country-industry dataset of 4,226 observations, including 12 OECD countries and 20 market industries, over the 1995-2016 period. We first observe, using country-level data, that the share of self-employed workers in total employment is quite stable or declines over the period in all countries in our dataset, except in the three countries where large reforms promoting self-employment have been implemented, and only after these reforms. …
On Legal Cooperation and the Dynamics of Legal Convergence
2010
In this paper, we study the dynamics of legal convergence and the comparison between the different instruments of legal convergence based on cooperative strategies (i.e., harmonization and unification) or not. To study these questions we use a model with two nation-states which is inspired in part by that used in Carbonara and Parisi (2008) where preferences of each nation-state are such that it is costly to change the law, but it is also costly to have a different legal system from the other nation-state. We show that legal unification could be achieved in the long-run through small step by step changes despite the existence of huge harmonization costs in the short run. We also show that l…

Comment: What is Alternative Technology? A Reply to Professor Stanley Carpenter
1983
Modern man is dissatisfied with the technology we have and would replace it with another. Three very different reasons are given for this. I will divide my treatment of them under three headings, listing the reason in each case together with a reply.
Angus Campbell/Philip E. Converse/Warren E. Miller/Donald E. Stokes, The American Voter, New York 1960
2008
„American Voter“ gehort zu den am haufigsten zitierten Publikationen in der Wahlforschung. Seine herausragende Bedeutung erklart sich weniger aus den substantiellen Ergebnissen der Autoren — obwohl diese teils heute noch Gultigkeit haben — als vielmehr aus dem Erklarungsansatz, den die vier Autoren entwickelt haben. Zusammen mit Anthony Downs’ „Economic Theory of Democracy“ (→ Downs 1957) und „The People’s Choice“ von Lazarsfeld/Berelson/Gaudet (→ Lazarsfeld/Berelson/Gaudet 1944) bildet der „American Voter“ deshalb jene Trias von Klassikern, auf die sich die drei theoretischen Hauptstromungen der Wahlforschung — Rational Choice-Ansatz, (mikro-)soziologischer und sozialpsychologischer Ansatz…

The Contribution of the Inter-American Human Rights Bodies to Evolving International Law on Indigenous Rights over Lands and Natural Resources
2010
AbstractBecause of the special relationship with land that characterises indigenous groups, rights over land and natural resources are at the heart of indigenous claims under international law. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court have developed a copious jurisprudence on the subject matter and contributed to the establishment of certain minimum indigenous peoples' land rights under customary international law. This article analyses the Inter-American judicial discourse on land issues in the light of the current status of relevant international law and reflects upon the potential contribution of the former to the further development of the latter. It fo…
The Understanding of Human Rights and Rule of Law from the Perspective of Kohlberg’s Theory
2015
Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are considered to be the foundations of the normative order of modern societies (Habermas, 1996). Even though the universal validity of human rights is often criticized, they represent an ethical minimum consensus of the global society as conventions on human rights have been ratified by more than 150 states.
Democracia y deliberación pública desde la perspectiva rawlsiana
2004
En el presente trabajo me centro, principalmente, en una de las cuestiones que ocupan, a mi modo de ver, el primer plano de la reflexión teórica actual: el problema de la democracia como forma política del uso público de la razón por parte de todos, estudiándolo desde el paradigma que nos ofrece John Rawls en sus últimas obras. Sobre todo en el papel y límite que Rawls asigna a la «Razón pública» y la «Deliberación pública», cuyo análisis me parece enormemente sugerente e iluminador para la Teoría democrática contemporánea. He analizado, en primer lugar, la relación entre democracia y concepción política de justicia, y en segundo, la razón pública y los límites de la deliberación pública. C…
