Euskadi es un refugio
La Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos cumplirá, en el año 2023, 75 años, pero aún queda mucho camino por recorrer. Por este motivo, en este libro se reflexiona sobre los derechos humanos y su universalidad ante los retos de la acogida a las personas refugiadas y migradas que llegan a Euskadi. En ocasiones, lo hacen como consecuencia de conflictos bélicos, como el que ahora mismo sufre Ucrania, pero las razones son muy diversas; en todo caso, se trata siempre de situaciones en las que se producen o de las que se derivan graves violaciones de los derechos fundamentales, especialmente de las personas más vulnerables: mujeres, infancia, personas empobrecidas. Cuando estas se ve...
Los años ochenta y la heroína en Gipuzkoa
El consumo masivo de la heroína tuvo sus orígenes a finales de los años setenta, pero sería a principios de los ochenta, en buena parte como consecuencia de la aparición del VIH, el momento en que la sociedad vasca reaccionó con alarma ante las dramáticas consecuencias de la que por entonces se denominó epidemia de la heroína: la muerte por sobredosis o por el sida, la asociación entre consumo y distintas formas de delincuencia, la espectacularización mediática y cinematográfica de la realidad de la drogadicción; sucesos que generaron tal clima social que en esta obra se han caracterizado, recurriendo a la sociología, como “pánico moral”. Este trabajo intenta alejarse de ...
Una comunidad decente
La convivencia es un rasgo de inteligencia de los seres humanos, es lo que nos hace humanos. En Euskadi, la convivencia se ha confrontado durante décadas con la intolerancia extrema del terrorismo; el final de ETA la ha convertido en una comunidad distinta. Pero la justificación del mal causado durante tantos años está todavía presente e impide que los vascos y las vascas compartan una misma memoria democrática. Incluso puede que tengan que convivir con ese déficit para siempre, dando carta de naturaleza a un olvido impuesto. Claro que no es ese el único reto que tiene ante sí la convivencia, pues más de dos millones de personas se concentran en un territorio limitado y en esa comu...

Philosophy's Duty Towards Social Suffering
Social suffering commands increasing public attention in the wake of several historical processes that have changed the ways victims are perceived. In making suffering eloquent by rendering it in conceptual form, philosophy runs the risk of muting suffering, thereby neutralizing its ability to mobilize responses. In the experience of suffering philosophy finds a limit it must recognize as its own. Yet only by fulfilling its duty towards suffering - only by having the abolition of suffering as its ultimate goal - can philosophical thinking withstand a tacit complicity with injustice.
How to Do Things with Pornography
In Nancy Bauer’s view, most feminist philosophers are content to work within theoretical frameworks that are false to human beings’ everyday experiences. Here she models a new way to write about pornography, women’s self-objectification, hook-up culture, and other contemporary phenomena, and in doing so she raises basic questions about philosophy.
States and Social Movements
Since the late eighteenth century, politics, protest, and the state have evolved together, each shaping the other in significant ways. This engaging and succinct treatment of protest-state interaction shows how the modern national state developed in tandem with social movement mobilization, arguing that to understand the state fully, you cannot ignore the role of political protest. Today, social movements are an integral part of politics: modern democratic states are, in reality, social movement societies, and protest mobilization permeates how politics is regularly accomplished. States and Social Movements presents a balanced and comprehensive assessment of various theories of social moveme...
Spreading Protest
Which elements do the Arab Spring, the Indignados and Occupy Wall Street have in common? How do they differ? What do they share with social movements of the past? This book discusses the recent wave of global mobilisations from an unusual angle, explaining what aspects of protests spread from one country to another, how this happened, and why diffusion occurred in certain contexts but not in others. In doing this, the book casts light on the more general mechanisms of protest diffusion in contemporary societies, explaining how mobilisations travel from one country to another and, also, from past to present times. Bridging different fields of the social sciences, and covering a broad range of empirical cases, this book develops new theoretical perspectives.
Participatory Democracy in Southern Europe
Citizen participation is a central component of democratic governance. As participatory schemes have grown in number and gained in social legitimacy over recent years, the research community has analyzed the virtues of participatory policies from several points of view, but usually giving focus to the most successful and well-known grass-roots cases. This book examines a wider range of participatory interventions that have been created or legitimized by central governments, providing original exploration of institutional democratic participatory mechanisms. Looking at a huge variety of subnational examples across Italy, Spain and France, the book interrogates the rich findings of a substantial research project. The authors use quantitative and qualitative methods to compare why these cases of participatory mechanisms have emerged, how they function, and what cultural impact they’ve achieved. This allows highly original insights into why participatory mechanisms work in some places, but not others, and the sorts of choices that organizers of participatory processes have to consider when creating such policies.
