Institutions For Future Generations de Iñigo González-Ricoy

Institutions For Future Generations

Editat de Iñigo González-Ricoy, Axel Gosseries
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2016

Structura volumului Institutions For Future Generations este riguros organizată pentru a trece dincolo de simpla deplângere a viziunii politice pe termen scurt, propunând o metodologie bazată pe design instituțional concret. Considerăm că forța acestei lucrări rezidă în capacitatea de a transforma dezbaterile abstracte despre justiția între generații în soluții aplicabile în cadrul proceselor decizionale actuale. Materialul este sistematizat astfel încât să ofere o privire de ansamblu asupra mecanismelor care pot induce o orientare spre viitor în guvernanță, analizând critic avantajele și limitele fiecărei structuri propuse.

Putem afirma că acest volum extinde cadrul propus de Intergenerational Justice, editat anterior de Axel Gosseries, prin adăugarea unor date noi din sfera științelor sociale și a politicilor publice. În timp ce lucrarea precedentă se concentra pe perspectivele filosofice (Rawlsian, libertarian sau Marxian), ediția de față, publicată la OUP OXFORD, face pasul decisiv spre implementare. De asemenea, lucrarea completează viziunea din Intergenerational Justice in Sustainable Development Treaty Implementation, oferind o bază teoretică mai profundă pentru deciziile luate la nivel național și internațional în contextul crizei climatice.

Tonul este unul precis, academic, evitând retorica alarmistă în favoarea unei analize tehnice a modului în care instituțiile pot fi recalibrate. Ritmul lecturii este susținut de o structură logică ce ghidează cititorul prin concepte normative complexe și studii de caz din politici publice. Relevanța pentru curriculumul de științe politice și etică este evidentă, volumul servind drept manual de referință pentru înțelegerea modului în care datoria publică și resursele naturale pot fi gestionate echitabil pentru cei care încă nu au drept de vot.

Descriere

In times of climate change and public debt, a concern for intergenerational justice should lead us to have a closer look at theories of intergenerational justice. It should also press us to provide institutional design proposals to change the decision-making world that surrounds us. This book provides an exhaustive overview of the most important institutional proposals as well as a systematic and theoretical discussion of their respective features and advantages. It focuses on institutional proposals aimed at taking the interests of future generations more seriously, and does so from the perspective of applied political philosophy, being explicit about the underlying normative choices and the latest developments in the social sciences. It provides citizens, activists, firms, charities, public authorities, policy-analysts, students, and academics with the body of knowledge necessary to understand what our institutional options are and what they entail if we are concerned about today's excessive short-termism.

Recenzii

This excellent collection of essays is devoted to the diagnosis and especially therapy of what is widely considered a flaw of current Western democracies: shorttermism- i.e., the prioritization of present over future benefits. [...] All in all, the contributions in this book are original, instructive, and exciting to read, especially given the urgency and seriousness of the subject matter.
wIñigo González-Ricoy and Axel Gosseries, the editors, deserve much praise from the outset for their laudable service of putting together what is (to my knowledge) the latest and to date perhaps most comprehensive volume on institutional responses to the widespread problem of "short-termism". ... this volume does an excellent service to students and scholars of intergenerational justice alike, and one can only hope that it will find many vigilant and engaged readers.
Excellent collection of essays ... the contributions in this book are original, instructive, and exciting to read, especially given the urgency and seriousness of the subject matter. The introduction and the contributions in part two equip the reader with the knowledge necessary to form a qualified opinion on the institutional changes proposed in parts three and four. Moreover, as I have argued, there is at least one package of proposed changes that promises to remedy short-termism and brings along other gains in terms of democracy and justice.
Perhaps the main flaw of democratic governments is that periodical elections induce a short time horizon and make it politically risky for governments to undertake projects that take a long time to mature. Measures for climate change abatement are the paradigmatic case. Even worse, in many modern governments, the actual and expected turnover of ministers is so high that their time horizon is truncated over and above the normal shortening effect produced by the electoral cycle. This path-breaking volume is the first to address this issue in its full depth and complexity.
One of the most important issues we face today is whether, to what extent, and how to address the interests of future generations. Much of the philosophical literature has considered this issue only from the perspective of moral principles. This excellent collection, with essays by leading scholars, considers the issue from the perspective of institutional design. The proposals ranging from a world climate bank to youth quotas on representative bodies to the management of pension funds -- are innovative, well considered and important. This volume will be of value not only to philosophers, but also policy analysts, economists and, indeed, anyone concerned with the quality of the lives yet to come.
The short-sightedness of elected governments is easily lamented. The hard part is figuring out what to do about it. This book represents the most systematic consideration to date of the prospects for designing political institutions to induce more future-oriented policymaking. The volume combines sharp analysis of the sources of short-termism in democratic politics with careful evaluation of institutional devices that might correct democracy's biases toward the present. Blending normative theory with political, psychological, economic, and legal analysis, this book offers a wide-ranging and thought-provoking exploration of one of the deepest challenges of democratic governance.
