30 minutes of philosophy of law: Old and new problems
2007
Este trabajo recoge la intervención que cerró el seminario «Derecho, ética y política. Un debate en torno a la obra de Ernesto Garzón Valdés» (Alicante, 15 y 16 de junio de 2007). En ella se recogen algunas reflexiones del autor sobre los problemas cruciales de los que debería ocuparse la filosofía del Derecho contemporánea: 1) Estado de Derecho y terrorismo; 2) el impacto de las investigaciones neurológicas en el concepto de responsabilidad; 3) la erosión de las estructuras institucionales a nivel internacional; 4) la relación entre etica, política y Derecho desde el punto de vista de una filosofía analítica del Derecho; y 5) América Latina como contexto de investigación jurídico-filosófic…
The UN in the Lab
2013
We consider two alternatives to inaction for governments combating terrorism, which we term Deterrence and Prevention. Deterrence – investing in resources that reduce the impact of an attack – generates a negative externality to other governments, making their countries a more attractive objective for terrorists, while Prevention – investing in resources that reduce the ability of the terrorist organization to mount an attack – creates a positive externality by reducing the overall threat of terrorism for all. Due to the structure of this interaction, countries can benefit from coordination of policy choices, and international institutions (such as the UN) can be utilized to facilitate coor…

La lotta al terrorismo tra prevenzione e repressione: una sfida ai diritti umani?
2020
Estamos asistiendo a una tendencia cada vez más “anticipatoria” de la sanción penal en materia de terrorismo, realizada a través de una ampliación de los campos de aplicación de ciertos casos penales, en desprecio de las garantías de los individuos, a la luz de meras presunciones de delito no realizadas ni susceptibles de serlo. Hemos asistido a la plena aplicación de la lógica del “enemigo”, dando lugar a solapamientos indebidos y confusos entre el concepto de guerra y el de represión, entre el del criminal y el del enemigo, entre el de la pena y el de la espada. El derecho penal va tan adelantado respecto a hechos realmente ofensivos hasta el punto de golpear conductas sólo indicativas de…

Terrorism'S Fear : Perceived Personal And National Threats
2008
Terrorism represents an unexpected and unwanted change which challenges one-s social identity. We carried out a study to explore the demographic variables- role on the perception of personal and national threat, and to investigate the effects of perceived terrorist threat on people-s ways of life, moods, opinions and hopes. 313 residents of Palermo (Italy) were interviewed. The results pointed out that the fear of terrorism affects three areas: the cognitive, the emotional and the behavioural one.
Violent Conflict and Online Segregation: An Analysis of Social Network Communication Across Ukraine's Regions
2016
Does the intensity of a social conflict affect political division? Traditionally, social cleavages are seen as the underlying cause of political conflicts. It is clear, however, that a violent conflict itself can shape partisan, social, and national identities. In this paper, we ask whether social conflicts unite or divide the society by studying the effects of Ukraine's military conflict with Russia on online social ties between Ukrainian provinces (oblasts). In order to do that, we collected original data on the cross-regional structure of politically relevant online communication among users of VKontakte social networking site. We analyze the panel of provinces spanning the most active p…
TERRORISM AND INTERNATIONAL TOURISM: NEW EVIDENCE
2008
This paper analyses the impact of terrorist activity on international tourist flows. To this end, we have estimated a cross‐sectional gravity equation for tourism from the G‐7 countries to a sample of 134 destinations over the period 2001–2003. Within this framework, we evaluate the deviation from ‘normal’ tourist flows due to terrorist activity, which is considered as negative advertising for the affected country. The analysis suggests that both domestic victims and international attacks are relevant factors when foreign tourists make their choice. This result is robust under alternative specifications. Moreover, the impact of terrorism is more severe in developing countries. The author is…
