Political philosophers rarely take on the topic of political corruption, despite the fact that corruption is so costly to human wellbeing, and so clearly separates well-governed from poorly governed polities. Ceva and Ferretti's book is the most complete attempt to remedy this deficit to date. Their key contribution is to conceptualize institutions in such a way that the offices they define link clearly to public ethics. Officeholders are accountable for their power mandate, not just within a hierarchy, but ethically, because their duties serve the public purposes that justify the institution. This said, their approach works best for impartial institutions in which the public duties of offices are clear and actionable, such as professional bureaucracies. We also need an ethically driven conception of political corruption for political institutions that contain and channel political partiality, especially democratic institutions within which the ethical purposes of public legislation are argued, deliberated, and voted. Extending a public ethics account of political corruption to democratic institutions can and should be a next step in this important project.
政治哲学家很少谈论政治腐败的话题,尽管腐败对人类福祉的代价如此之高,而且如此明显地将治理良好的政体与治理不善的政体区分开来。Ceva和Ferretti的书是迄今为止弥补这一赤字的最完整的尝试。他们的主要贡献是将机构概念化,使他们定义的办公室与公共道德明确联系起来。官员们不仅在等级制度内,而且在道德上对自己的权力授权负责,因为他们的职责是为了公共目的,为机构辩护。也就是说,他们的方法最适用于公正的机构,在这些机构中,办公室的公共职责是明确和可操作的,比如专业官僚机构。我们还需要对包含和引导政治偏袒的政治机构,特别是对公共立法的道德目的进行辩论、审议和投票的民主机构,提出一个道德驱动的政治腐败概念。将政治腐败的公共道德账户扩展到民主机构可以而且应该是这一重要项目的下一步。

A progressive approach to normative political theorizing 规范政治理论化的进步方法
IF 1.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-07-25 DOI: 10.1177/14748851231189598
E. Biale, C. Fumagalli
In this article, we argue that a progressive approach to normative political theorizing should incorporate a conception of meaningful political change that is nonutopian (it conceives of advancements as gradual stages), large-scale (it involves the largest possible numbers of organized and unorganized social movements), and democratically emancipatory (it displays a commitment to breaking down the barriers that prevent individuals from feeling responsible for the direction of society). Bearing this in mind, such an approach should be organized around a cooperative effort between theorists and agents of change and should be oriented toward the collective construction of large-scale actionable proposals for social and political change here and now.
在本文中,我们认为,规范政治理论化的进步方法应该包含有意义的政治变革的概念,这种变革是非乌托邦的(它将进步视为渐进的阶段),大规模的(它涉及尽可能多的有组织和无组织的社会运动),以及民主解放的(它展示了打破阻碍个人对社会方向负责的障碍的承诺)。考虑到这一点,这种方法应该围绕理论家和变革推动者之间的合作努力来组织,并且应该面向集体构建大规模的可执行的社会和政治变革建议。

Political corruption in unjust regimes 不公正政权中的政治腐败
IF 1.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-07-18 DOI: 10.1177/14748851231186696
Cécile Fabre
A theory of political corruption must give a plausible descriptive account of what counts as politically corrupt conduct, and a plausible normative account of the reasons why (if any) such conduct is wrongful, and distinctively so. On Ceva and Ferretti's sophisticated descriptive and normative account of corruption if and only if the act is carried out by a public official acting in her capacity as officeholder, and she knowingly acts to ends which are not congruent with the terms of her mandate. By their own admission, Ceva and Ferretti focus for the most part on just, or nearly just, regimes – which include democratic regimes. In this paper, I probe the strength and implications of their account for political corruption in clearly unjust regimes, in which individuals’ basic civil, political and socio-economic rights are routinely and systematically violated. I argue that their account does not straightforwardly apply to these cases, and that their cursory treatment of all-things-considered justified corruption in those regimes exposes a gap in their account of corruption.
政治腐败理论必须对什么是政治腐败行为给出合理的描述性说明,并对这种行为(如果有的话)是错误的原因给出合理的规范性说明,而且是明显的。关于Ceva和Ferretti对腐败的复杂描述和规范性描述,前提是该行为是由以公职人员身份行事的公职人员实施的,并且她在知情的情况下采取的行动与她的任务不一致。据他们自己承认,切瓦和费雷蒂在很大程度上关注公正或近乎公正的政权,其中包括民主政权。在这篇论文中,我探讨了他们对明显不公正政权中的政治腐败的解释的力量和影响,在这种政权中,个人的基本公民、政治和社会经济权利经常受到系统性侵犯。我认为,他们的描述并不直接适用于这些案件,他们对这些政权中所有被认为合理的腐败行为的粗略处理暴露了他们对腐败的描述存在差距。

Whistleblowing and Complicity in Normative Theorizing on Political Corruption 政治腐败规范化理论化中的检举与共谋
IF 1.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-07-17 DOI: 10.1177/14748851231186698
D. Santoro
In their work “Political Corruption: The Internal Enemy of Public Institutions,” Ceva and Ferretti defend a conception of corruption as a breach of the duty of accountability for officeholders. I address two key aspects of their proposal. First, I contend that whistleblowing disclosures should be limited to acts of last resort, rather than as a common practice of ensuring answerability. Second, I argue that their account does not adequately distinguish between degrees of involvement in corrupt activities. Within hierarchical organizations, not all officeholders possess the same capacity and power to counteract unjust practices. Different contributory roles entail varying degrees of responsibility within the normative structure of answerability defended by the authors.
在他们的作品《政治腐败:公共机构的内部敌人》中,Ceva和Ferretti为腐败的概念辩护,认为腐败违反了对官员的问责义务。我谈谈他们建议的两个关键方面。首先,我认为举报披露应仅限于最后手段,而不是作为确保责任的常见做法。其次,我认为他们的叙述没有充分区分参与腐败活动的程度。在等级制度组织中,并非所有官员都拥有相同的能力和权力来抵制不公正的做法。不同的贡献角色在作者捍卫的责任规范结构中需要不同程度的责任。

Democratic politics and hope: An Arendtian perspective 民主政治与希望:阿伦特的视角
IF 1.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-07-09 DOI: 10.1177/14748851231185223
Antonin Lacelle-Webster
Narratives of hope are omnipresent in democratic life, but what can they tell us about the structure and orientation of politics? While common, they are often reduced to an all-compassing understanding that overlooks hope's various forms and implications. Democratic theory, however, lacks the theoretical language to attend to these distinctions. The aim of this essay is thus to define a collective and political account of hope and recover the normative basis of a democratic theory of hope. Drawing on the literature on hope and juxtaposing it with extracts from Harvey Milk's ‘The Hope Speech,’ I first distinguish its collective experience before turning to Hannah Arendt. While Arendt rejects a politics of hope that turns away from the world, exploring how she thinks with and against hope provides a theoretically fruitful approach that elevates the in-betweenness of its worldly expression. From that standpoint, I relate the work and experience of hoping with others to her notions of natality, action and promises. These three conceptual touchstones provide the normative basis of a democratic theory of hope and help situate a collective sense of possibility inherent in democratic politics.
希望的叙述在民主生活中无处不在,但它们能告诉我们什么关于政治的结构和方向?虽然它们很常见,但往往被简化为一种包罗万象的理解,忽视了希望的各种形式和含义。然而,民主理论缺乏关注这些区别的理论语言。因此,本文的目的是定义对希望的集体和政治描述,并恢复民主希望理论的规范基础。我借鉴了关于希望的文献,并将其与哈维·米尔克的《希望演讲》的节选并置,在转向汉娜·阿伦特之前,我首先区分了它的集体经历。虽然阿伦特拒绝接受一种远离世界的希望政治,但探索她如何支持和反对希望提供了一种理论上富有成果的方法,提升了其世俗表达的中间性。从这个角度来看,我将与他人一起希望的工作和经历与她对出生、行动和承诺的观念联系起来。这三个概念试金石提供了民主希望理论的规范基础,并有助于定位民主政治中固有的集体可能性感。

Hans Kelsen on political Catholicism and Christian Democracy 论政治天主教与基督教民主
IF 1.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-07-02 DOI: 10.1177/14748851231184999
Fabio Wolkenstein
Hans Kelsen was one of the most important legal thinkers of the 20th century, and he is known for mounting an elaborate defense of liberal party democracy at a time when the latter was hardly the most popular form of regime. This article examines how Kelsen responded to two major political movements he experienced in his intellectual prime: political Catholicism, which he was confronted with in interwar Austria, and Christian Democracy, which became a hegemonic political force in Western Europe after World War II, when Kelsen was already in exile. The article reconstructs Kelsen's complex critique of these two religious movements and ends by reflecting on what we can learn from his arguments about current attempts to revive Christian political thought.
汉斯·凯尔森是20世纪最重要的法律思想家之一,他以在自由党民主几乎不是最受欢迎的政权形式时精心捍卫自由党民主而闻名。本文考察了凯尔森如何应对他在知识全盛时期经历的两大政治运动:一是他在两次世界大战之间的奥地利所面临的政治天主教,二是凯尔森流亡海外后成为西欧霸权政治力量的基督教民主。本文重构了凯尔森对这两个宗教运动的复杂批判,并通过反思我们可以从他关于当前复兴基督教政治思想的论点中学到什么。

Max Tomba aims to reconstruct how historical actors reconstructed the past to open the future in ways that diverged from the trajectory of the dominant modernity. Insurgent Universality would break open the dead logic of the juridical, political, and economic trajectory of modernity that limits what is given and constrains what is possible. This essay reflects on the practice and the role of the historian. Beyond merely adopting insurgents’ perspectives, the historian must engage in a practice of critical and reflective judgment. The essay draws on Michel-Rolph Trouillot on the silencing of the past, Reinhard Koselleck on the priority of the future, and Marisa Fuentes on the limits of the archives for voicing marginalized points of view. It concludes by calling for judgment and imagination where the archives run dry.

Critical theory and North American indigenous thought 批判理论与北美本土思想

In recent years, critical theorists such as Amy Allen and Robert Nichols have aimed to “decolonize critical theory,” by which they mean to make the tradition of critical theory less hostile to, and more compatible with, the ideas and movements of Indigenous peoples. In this article, however, I argue these efforts have failed to consider the relationship of two key elements of critical theory with Indigenous thought: that all normativity is generated immanently to historically and socially located struggle, and that normativity is negatively defined. These two elements, I argue, are not fully endorsed in the work of many Indigenous thinkers. By drawing on the work of a diverse group of contemporary Indigenous scholars, I show, first, that nature is generally a relevant normative category in Indigenous thinking in a way that is irreducible to historical location. Second, I argue that for many Native scholars, right action is not simply a matter of resisting colonialism. While resistance features heavily, of course, I suggest that Indigenous thinking often includes a substantive positive vision of living well that has not—as of yet—been considered by critical theorists.
近年来,艾米·艾伦(Amy Allen)和罗伯特·尼科尔斯(Robert Nichols。然而,在这篇文章中,我认为这些努力没有考虑批判性理论的两个关键要素与本土思想的关系:所有规范性都是由历史和社会定位的斗争产生的,规范性是负面定义的。我认为,这两个要素在许多土著思想家的工作中并没有得到充分认可。通过借鉴当代土著学者的著作,我首先表明,自然在土著思想中通常是一个相关的规范范畴,与历史位置密不可分。其次,我认为,对许多土著学者来说,正确的行动不仅仅是抵抗殖民主义的问题。当然,尽管阻力很重要,但我认为土著人的思维往往包括一种实质性的积极愿景,即过上好日子,而这一愿景迄今为止还没有被批判性理论家所考虑。

On blind deference in Open Democracy 论开放民主中的盲目顺从
IF 1.1 Q2 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2023-05-09 DOI: 10.1177/14748851231174166
Palle Bech-Pedersen
In this article, I critically assess Hélène Landemore's new model of Open Democracy, asking whether it requires of citizens to blindly defer to the decisions of the mini-public. To address this question, I, first, discuss three institutional mechanisms in Open Democracy, all of which can be read to grant citizens democratic control. I argue that neither the capacity to authorize the selection mechanism (random sortition), nor the lottocratic conception of political equality, nor the self-selection mechanisms of Landemore's model deliver the form of control that would insulate Open Democracy from the charge of blind deference. I then discuss the direct democracy mechanisms that Landemore incorporates into her model. Although these devices grant citizens control and, by extension, offer the resources for repudiating the charge of blind deference, they also, I argue, subvert the logic of Landemore's lottocratic model, rendering Open Democracy predictably unstable. Given the deliberative asymmetries between the mini-public and the citizenry, a high frequency of bottom-up challenges is to be expected that would throw the whole system into jeopardy. Thus, the challenge for lottocrats is to show how democratic control can be achieved in a lottocratic system without undermining the benefits of the legislature by lot.
在这篇文章中,我批判性地评估了Hélène Landemore的开放民主新模式,询问它是否要求公民盲目服从小公众的决定。为了解决这个问题,我首先讨论了开放民主中的三种体制机制,所有这些机制都可以理解为赋予公民民主控制权。我认为,无论是授权选择机制(随机排序)的能力,还是政治平等的彩票概念,还是兰德莫尔模型的自我选择机制,都不能提供一种控制形式,使开放民主免受盲目顺从的指控。然后,我讨论了兰德莫尔将其纳入其模式的直接民主机制。尽管这些手段赋予公民控制权,并进而为否认盲目顺从的指控提供了资源,但我认为,它们也颠覆了兰德莫尔彩票模式的逻辑,使开放民主变得不稳定。鉴于小型公众和公民之间的协商不对称,预计会出现高频率的自下而上的挑战,这将使整个系统陷入危险。因此,彩票官员面临的挑战是展示如何在彩票制度中实现民主控制,而不会通过抽签破坏立法机构的利益。

Thus, the challenge for lottocrats is to show how democratic control can be achieved in a lottocratic system without undermining the benefits of the legislature by lot.","PeriodicalId":46183,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Political Theory","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41418995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In representative democracies, the absence of responsiveness by elected officials to the interests of the represented often generates problems of legitimacy, accountability and effectiveness. However, responsiveness also tends to narrow the time horizons of democratic decision-making and promote short-termism. This paper advances the notion that responsiveness to interests involving distant time horizons is possible by reconfiguring the franchise in a time-sensitive and future-oriented way. It is divided into two parts. The first pinpoints a few inconsistencies in the available proposals for making responsiveness and the long term compatible (e.g., promoting youth turnout, narrowing the franchise to robust epistemic fitness, establishing future-oriented institutions). The second advances the creation of temporal electoral circles operating alongside territorial electoral circles in order to prompt responsiveness to multitemporal interests. The conclusion asserts that this kind of franchise design is the best available option for introducing temporal aspects into the character of democratic representation.
在代议制民主国家,民选官员对被代表者的利益缺乏回应,往往会产生合法性、问责制和有效性问题。然而,回应也往往缩小民主决策的时间范围,助长短期主义。本文提出了这样一种观点,即通过以时间敏感和面向未来的方式重新配置特许经营权,可以对涉及遥远时间范围的利益做出反应。它分为两个部分。第一个指出了现有提案中的一些不一致之处,这些提案旨在使响应能力和长期相容(例如,提高青年投票率,将特许权缩小到强大的认知适应性,建立面向未来的机构)。第二个是推动建立与领土选举圈一起运作的临时选举圈,以促进对多个临时利益的回应。结论认为,这种特许权设计是将时间方面引入民主代表性特征的最佳选择。
