Abstract: Migration flows are, in a measure, the consequence of dominant economic models, namely the growth paradigm that currently permeates the world. Migrations are the result of different human needs, first of all the need to survive. Naturally, the decision to move towards an unknown destination is also influenced by cultural models: nowadays, the collective imagination of the North is bui...

From the paper: The novelty of the Hirsi Jamaa case is the new exploit that the principle of not refoulement, must be observed also on the high seas by the European States, because the rescue operations on the high seas are cases of extra-territorial exercise of the jurisdiction of that State. Under International Law concerning the protection of refugees, the decisive test in establishing the r...

From the introduction: 1. Growth versus universalism - In what sense is growth evil? We can say that it is iniquitous, unjust. Indeed it contradicts the principle which lays down the universal validity as criterion of value since it is good for some people but bad for a lot of other people. Nowadays we could say, referring to “Occupy Wall Street”, that growth is good for 1% of people but is evi...

Achtzig Prozent der kambodschanischen Bevölkerung leben noch immer auf dem Land, viele von ihnen sind Kleinbauern. Doch in den letzten Jahren hat die Regierung an private Investoren Konzessionen für große Landflächen vergeben. In der Folge wurden viele Bauern von ihren Feldern vertrieben.

From the text: So conceived, governance is a process that involves many institutions — in the economy, civil society, and religious and cultural organizations — in addition to the government legally defined. Governance is even more ubiquitous than the entity, also not identical with the government, called the state. Questions about the form that governance in a degrowth society should take are ...

From the text: Systemic ecological boundaries, buffered with means to allow the flourishing of life and not merely its survival, are the boundaries that matter most in this critical era. They can serve as the base of a structure of ecological law that must be respected and enforced to fend off catastrophe and enhance the capacity for life to flourish. I argue that the looming prospect of transg...

Introduction of the summary: Climate science tells us that we’ve pushed beyond ‘dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system,’ and are on the verge of committing to catastrophic interference. In this context, it’s necessary to raise our heads, if only for a moment, from the tactical scrum, and to consider brute necessity. To that end, we argue for a stringent mitigation pathw...

In den ersten beiden Kapiteln verfolgt Habermas das doppelte Ziel zu erklären, warum die Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns der Kategorie des Rechts einen zentralen Stellenwert einräumt und warum sie ihrerseits für eine Diskurstheorie des Rechts einen geeigneten Kontext bildet. Dabei geht es um die Herausarbeitung eines rekonstruktiven Ansatzes, der beide Perspektiven in sich aufnimmt: die der...
