This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepción Arenal es una reformadora moral que, salvando la dignidad humana, despierta las conciencias hacia la razón, la empatía con el sufrimiento ajeno, el compromiso social, teniendo en cuenta la libertad y la autonomía moral. Supone un legado para la losofía política y, en la medida en que fue escuchada, impulsó aquel primer Estado liberal hacia una dimensión social y democrática. La profunda y meticulosa obra de Concepción Arenal tiene muchos aspectos por descubrir. Desde la perspectiva de los derechos humanos y la justicia social en esta obra se sondean diversas claves que llevan la atención sobre: la perfectibilidad humana inseparable de la interacción con las personas, la responsabilidad social en la pobreza y el delito, la correlación entre derechos-deberes y medios disponibles, la redistribución de la riqueza apelando al nivel moral, la función de los representantes políticos para favorecer el bien común y la esfera del derecho recogiendo y mejorando el umbral de civilización alcanzado. La universalidad de la condición humana hace posible que hoy resuene la voz de Concepción Arenal como llamada a la elevación de la humanidad y antídoto contra las múltiples facetas del discurso del odio, el neofeudalismo, la robotización…etc., en la emergencia de un paradigma de posverdad que amenaza intoxicar nuestro Estado social y democrático de derecho. Este libro será especialmente útil en el ámbito del Trabajo Social, pero no lo será menos en otras disciplinas y variadas especialidades universitarias como Historia, Filosofía, Ética, Sociología o Derecho. En general va dirigido a quienes sensibilizan con los derechos humanos y la justicia social.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gran parte de los seres humanos que actualmente habitan el planeta sufren violaciones sobre sus derechos sociales en forma cotidiana, muchas veces incluso graves y masivas. La pobreza y la exclusión social les condenan a vivir en viviendas inadecuadas, a no disfrutar de una alimentación diaria y suficiente, a no recibir atención sanitaria, a no asistir a instituciones educativas, a trabajar de manera insalubre y precaria y, en muchos casos, a una sobrevivencia indigna o a una muerte injusta. Desde esta constatación fáctica, el presente libro recoge reflexiones jurídicas, éticas y políticas sobre diversos aspectos vinculados con el incumplimiento de los derechos sociales y las distintas alternativas y estrategias para lograr su real efectividad. Aportaciones interdisciplinarias desde la Filosofía del Derecho, el Derecho Constitucional, los Derechos Humanos, el Trabajo Social y las Políticas Públicas de profesores de la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid y de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina, que expresan la preocupación compartida sobre el estado actual de los derechos sociales y el convencimiento de que los mismos son la gran deuda pendiente de la mayoría de los Estados de Derecho modernos, incluso de los llamados Estados Sociales. LOS DERECHOS SOCIALES EN EL SIGLO XXI. UN DESAFÍO CLAVE PARA EL DERECHO Y LA JUSTICIA argumenta y defiende que la exigibilidad y la calidad de los derechos sociales para todos los habitantes del mundo es el verdadero desafío al que nos enfrentamos como sociedad global en estos comienzos del siglo XXI si queremos conseguir, realmente y para todos, un mundo más justo y en paz.
Download or read book The Legacies of Institutionalisation written by Claire Spivakovsky and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first collection to examine the legal dynamics of deinstitutionalisation. It considers the extent to which some contemporary laws, policies and practices affecting people with disabilities are moving towards the promised end point of enhanced social and political participation in the community, while others may instead reinstate, continue or legitimate historical practices associated with this population's institutionalisation. Bringing together 20 contributors from the UK, Canada, Australia, Spain and Indonesia, the book speaks to overarching themes of segregation and inequality, interlocking forms of oppression and rights-based advancements in law, policy and practice. Ultimately this collection brings forth the possibilities, limits and contradictions in the roles of law and policy in processes of institutionalisation and deinstitutionalisation, and directs us towards a more nuanced and sustained scholarly and political engagement with these issues.
Download or read book Law and Society in Latin America written by Cesar Garavito and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, legal thought and practice in Latin America have changed dramatically: new constitutions or constitutional reforms have consolidated democratic rule, fundamental innovations have been introduced in state institutions, social movements have turned to law to advance their causes, and processes of globalization have had profound effects on legal norms and practices. Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map offers the first systematic assessment by leading Latin American socio-legal scholars of the momentous transformations in the region. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative lens, contributors analyze the central advances and dilemmas of contemporary Latin American law. Among them are pioneering jurisprudence and legal mobilization for the fulfillment of socioeconomic rights in a highly unequal region, the rise of multicultural constitutionalism and legal struggles around identity politics, the globalization of legal education and practice, tensions between developmental policies and environmental justice, and the emergence of a regional human rights system. These and other processes have not only radically altered the institutional landscape of the region, but also produced academic and practical innovations that are of global interest and defy conventional accounts of Latin American law inherited from law-and-development studies. Painting a portrait of the new Latin American legal thought for an international audience, Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map will be of particular interest to students of comparative law, legal mobilization, and Latin American politics.

Download or read book Dominio Pol tico Permanencias Y Cambios written by and published by Teseo. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es resultado de un trabajo colectivo llevado adelante por un grupo de investigadores de distintos perfiles, orígenes institucionales y hasta de diferentes edades. La idea que los convocó fue la posibilidad de desarrollar, a partir de la construcción de la noción dominio político, algunos de los ya clásicos problemas tratados por la Ciencia Política. Las cuestiones de orden metodológico, las correspondientes al Estado, la democracia, la representación, la ciudadanía y los movimientos sociales se tomaron como casos testigos del desafío teórico asumido. Estos fenómenos debían ser construidos en sus propias singularidades para ser enmarcados en el cuadro ofrecido por el dominio político como noción devenida en categoría-instrumento.
Download or read book Educational Justice written by Camila Moyano Dávila and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a novel perspective on education as a social right. Literature on this topic has focused on inclusion as the universal concept whereby access to education is examined. As a moral principle, this concept opens new challenges in different ways if we take a deeper view into diverse contexts. What education? For what? For whom? Are we thinking about education because it will bring social justice in the future, or are we thinking of education as a just practice in the present? This book brings fresh theoretical and empirical perspectives on those questions, moving beyond a pure inclusion paradigm to a broader and context-oriented notion of educational justice. The chapters engage with theories of educational justice to present these challenges at the institutional level of educational policy, at the practical level of schooling practices, and in the production of ideas around childhood and education, for instance, notions of normalcy at schools. Although the featured works are related to the Chilean educational system, they opens questions about education in general. They embrace rural and urban contexts, different educational levels (from preschool to university), and university and vocational education. This book will be rewarding reading for educational scholars, those interested in theories of social and educational justice, and anyone interested in contemporary perspectives on education, childhood and youth, inclusion, and justice.

Download or read book A European Social Citizenship written by Lars Magnusson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore and reflect upon preconditions of a specific European social dimension, or more specifically of a European social citizenship. Welfare and social policies in Europe are deeply entrenched in state histories; the success of the welfare state stems from its ability during a fairly long historical period to unify social citizenship, full employment, mass education and a functional industrial relations system. The historical connection between welfare regimes built upon the nation state, and popular democracy founded in party voting, makes the deepening and widening of a common European project a highly risky undertaking and an open process with a radically uncertain outcome. The dilemma in the form of uneasy relationships among national welfare regimes and the evolutionary process of increased market integration - driven both by market forces (globalisation) and the European Union as a political project - is well known and has been demonstrated by different commentators. Every step of deepening market integration in Europe tends to threaten and put pressure on the existing national welfare regimes. As their own populations generally support them, the legitimacy of the EU is at risk. The book analyses the prospects of a coordinated social dimension at the European level, matching the market integration, and what role the concept of citizenship can play in such a scenario.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America written by Rachel Sieder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 1037 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of law and its efficacy in Latin America demands concepts distinct from the hegemonic notions of "rule of law" which have dominated debates on law, politics and society, and that recognize the diversity of situations and contexts characterizing the region. The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America presents cutting-edge analysis of the central theoretical and applied areas of enquiry in socio-legal studies in the region by leading figures in the study of law and society from Latin America, North America and Europe. Contributors argue that scholarship about Latin America has made vital contributions to longstanding and emerging theoretical and methodological debates on the relationship between law and society. Key topics examined include: The gap between law-on-the-books and law in action The implications of legal pluralism and legal globalization The legacies of experiences of transitional justice Emerging forms of socio-legal and political mobilization Debates concerning the relationship between the legal and the illegal. The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America sets out new research agendas for cross-disciplinary socio-legal studies and will be of interest to those studying law, sociology of law, comparative Latin American politics, legal anthropology and development studies.

It is a compendium that includes insights from artistic and activist experimentation. Each chapter investigates a different aspect of citizenship, such as identity and belonging, rights and responsibilities, bodies and materials, agencies and spaces, and limitations and interventions. It rewrites and rethinks the many-layered concept of citizenship by emphasising the performative tensions produced by various uses, occupations, interpretations and framings.
