What next? Nations in the technological race through the 2030
The Reform of the UN Security Council
Since the end of the Cold War, a rejuvenated wide-ranging debate has unfolded about reforming the UN Security Council ( SC ) even though states have not reached any agreement. This paper considers the goals that should inspire any reform of the SC . Should it be made explicit in what capacity the Member States act: in their own interest, that of their geographical group, or to promote the purposes of the United Nations? A review of the voting pat…
Is user’s rating becoming overpowering? The risks of inappropriate use of digital feedback
Purpose Digital technologies have made it easy to generate feedback on the performance of products and services. They have contributed significantly to reducing the information asymmetries between producers and consumers, between suppliers and users of public goods, and between politicians and citizens. It seems that Web 2.0 has enhanced the effectiveness of the “voice” evoked by Albert Hirschman in the 1970s. But they can also provide an illicit…
World Order, War and Peace. Introduction
How can philosophy interpret the phenomenon of contemporary war in the light of radical changes in international relations? How to redefine the concepts of different philosophical-political traditions? Is philosophy now condemned to the role of spectator, only able to describe the phenomenon of war, or can it still suggest ways of overcoming it and achieving peace? This monographic issue of Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Politica aims, through fou…
Verso una dittatura del rating? I rischi di un uso spregiudicato del feedback
Le tecnologie digitali hanno facilitato la generazione di commenti sulla prestazione di prodotti e servizi, riducendo in tal modo le asimmetrie informative esistenti e potenziando al contempo l’efficacia della “voce” evocata da Albert Hirschman. C’è il rischio che feedback e rating possano diventare così invasivi tanto da minacciare la riservatezza degli individui? Distinguiamo tra tre tipi di feedback: 1) con dinamica bottom-up, quando molti ind…

Refugees in the European Union
The flows of refugees have ignited the European political debate, thereby boosting nationalistic forces in almost all countries. The aim of this paper is to counterbalance a widespread view about their overall impact and show that the number of asylum seekers did not represent a ‘refugee crises’. It argues, however, that the current European Union institutions and procedures are highly insufficient to successfully manage refugee inflows and asylu…
Regional Technological Capabilities and the Access to H2020 Funds
This contribution provides fresh evidence on the factors facilitating the access to H2020 funds by EU regions focusing on the role played by pre‐existing technological endowments. The empirical analysis aims at assessing if, and the extent to which, the regional distribution of such resources strictly reflects the technological capabilities of regions (with the risk of a perpetuation or even a deepening of pre‐existing technological gaps) or, alt…
Reconstructing democracy
Public intellectual
Richard Falk is one of the most authoritative contemporary International Relations scholars. A very prolific author, he has contributed to almost all relevant world issues of the last 60 years and has published, edited and co-edited several dozens of books. The book reviewed here, however, is totally different from his previous works, most of which will be very familiar to any student in the field of international affairs: it is a fascinating int…
Democracy and prosperity
The fall of the Berlin Wall generated a widespread consensus that democracy had become the only legitimate form of government and that—sooner or later—all countries would adopt it. Since the 2008 economic crisis, belief in the triumphant march of democratic governance has evaporated, and the political systems of advanced nations now look much more fragile than they did in the past. Challenged by new populist movements domestically, they no longer…
How social movements can save democracy
Social movements have often pioneered and advocated for human rights issues, and crucial contemporary advances in civil and political rights are fundamentally associated to their vision, struggle and determination. If we think about women, minority or LGTQ+ rights, progressive mobilization from below has anticipated, often by several decades, political institutions, even in representative democracies. However, social movements have the tendency t…
Eulogy of David Held

European Citizenship as Rights Claiming
European citizenship, which was once seen as the symbol of European integration, is increasingly perceived as an obstacle to self-government and a threat to national welfare. As European ruling classes fail to provide an adequate response to the tensions that arise from the wider trends of globalization, anti-political movements are gaining support. A significant part of European citizenry is aligning with parties that preach the restoration of n…
Political trials in theory and history
When facing charges, both President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi accused their judges of being instruments of political retaliation. They are not alone: even O. J. Simpson's defence attorney argued that his trial was politically motivated. Were they right? Politicians, commentators and members of the public will hold contrasting views, and the more a trial involves the higher echelons of society—top politicians, tycoons or ce…
Justice and reconciliation in world politics
Despite the realist view according to which world politics is the realm of power and abuse, much research has been conducted over the last decades on how ethics could domesticate power. Academics have been tasked with making sense of a variety of different political innovations—including truth and reconciliation commissions, international tribunals, official apologies and reparations—which have tried to introduce ethical values into international…

La démocratie cosmopolitique
Cet article est une réponse directe à certains critiques du projet de démocratie cosmopolitique, qui insistent sur l'absence de détails sur les acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux susceptibles d'avoir un intérêt à soutenir ce programme. Nous montrons qu'il existe différentes manières de développer la gouvernance démocratique au niveau mondial, qui sont associées à divers acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux trouvant leur intérêt dans…
Global Democracy
Democracy is increasingly seen as the only legitimate form of government, but few people would regard international relations as governed according to democratic principles. Can this lack of global democracy be justified? Which models of global politics should contemporary democrats endorse and which should they reject? What are the most promising pathways to global democratic change? To what extent does the extension of democracy from the nation…
Cosmopolitan Democracy
One of the recurrent criticisms of the project of cosmopolitan democracy has been that it has not examined the political, economic and social agents that might have an interest in pursuing this programme. This criticism is addressed directly in this article. It shows that there are a variety of paths that, in their own right, could lead to more democratic global governance, and that there are a diversity of political, economic and social agents t…
Looking for a Jurisdiction for Somali Pirates
One of the surprising things about the resurgence of piracy in the Gulf of Aden is that there is not yet a clear standard of conduct when suspected pirates are eventually caught. There are many cases in which pirates have been released by the military navies that arrested them and other cases of excessive use of force. This article addresses the possibility of providing a fair trial to suspected pirates, also on the ground of new developments in …
Is the Economic Crisis Impairing Convergence in Innovation Performance across Europe
Are EU Member States converging in terms of their innovative effort? To what extent is the current economic downturn impairing the convergence across the European Union countries in innovation performance? Using macro and micro data, this article shows that the EU Member States have converged in their innovative potential over the 2004–08 period. The economic crisis of Autumn 2008 has an impact on innovative investment in almost all EU countries,…
Global Democracy
The idea that the values and norms of democracy can also be applied to global politics is increasingly debated in academe. The six authors participating in this symposium are all advocates of global democracy, but there are significant differences in the way they envision its implementation. Some of the contributors discuss if and how substantial changes undertaken by states, mostly in their foreign policies, may also generate positive consequenc…

The Language of Democracy
Will Kymlicka has argued that ‘democratic politics is politics in the vernacular’. Does this statement mean that democratic politics is impossible in a multilingual community, whether at the local, national, regional or global level? This paper discusses this assumption and maintains that democratic politics should imply the willingness of all players to make an effort to understand each other. Democratic politics depends on a willingness to over…

Is Europe Becoming the Most Dynamic Knowledge Economy in the World
The article discusses the condition and perspective of the European Union in the knowledge economy and the feasibility of the goal given by the European Council at the summits held in Lisbon (March 2000) and Barcelona (March 2002), that is, to increase European R&D expenditure to 3 per cent of GDP by 2010. The article focuses on two aspects: comparative performance with its direct counterparts, in particular the USA; and intra-European distributi…
Technological globalisation or national systems of innovation

Cosmopolitan Guidelines for Humanitarian Intervention
An increasing demand has arisen in the last decade for interventions. (1) In some cases, such as in Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo, these interventions have actually taken place. In many others, such as Rwanda and East Timor, they have been much invoked, but they have not been implemented. The fact that the actual or only invoked military interventions are labeled humanitarian serves to make it clear that they may, sometimes, be carried out with alt…

The globalization of technological innovation
The concept of globalization of innovation is the zip between two fundamental phenomena of modern economies: the increased international integration of economic activities and the raising importance of knowledge in economic processes. The paper singles out three different components of the globalization of innovation: (1) the international exploitation of nationally generated innovations; (2) the global generation of innovations by MNEs; and (3) …
Immanuel Kant, Cosmopolitan Law and Peace
Two centuries ago Immanuel Kant published one of his most celebrated political writings, To Perpetual Peace. A Philosophical Project. He introduced cosmopolitan law, which has puzzled various generations of scholars. This concept is examined by way of a comparison of Kant's contemporary international theories. It is argued that it plays a crucial role in Kant's system of International Relations. While on the one hand cosmopolitan law safeguards a…

Models of international organization in perpetual peace projects
Perpetual peace projects constitute a largely undervalued intellectual tradition that has attracted many polemical arrows. One of the most frequent criticisms levelled at the projects is that their authors too often abandon themselves to utopianism. Yet this tradition has proved to be much more influential than is generally recognized: contemporary international organizations, from the League of Nations to the United Nations, from the European Pa…

The Global Governance of Communicable Diseases
Fighting communicable diseases such HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB, and malaria has become a global endeavor, with international health authorities urging the development of effective vaccines for the eradication of these global pandemics. Yet, despite the acknowledged urgency, and given the feasibility of effective vaccine development, public and private research efforts have failed to address a response adequate to the magnitude of the crisis. Memb…
Roundtable
Tom Farer opens the roundtable by outlining a five-part test for legitimate humanitarian intervention and questioning the utility of the term 'cosmopolitan' in this context. Five responses are offered. Daniele Archibugi highlights the problem of legitimate authority for intervention and offers a separate four-stage process which he believes contributes to institutionalizing cosmopolitanism. Chris Brown questions the value of creating a set of cri…
So what if democracies don't fight each other
About 15 years ago, international relations scholars began observing that democratic states do not actually fight each other. Of course, democracies often get involved in wars, and sometimes engage in aggression and international law violations, but they don't seem to pursue armed conflicts with each other. It's almost as if they've “stipulated” some tacit agreement for a separate peace. After making historical and statistical analyses, developin…

Democracy at the united nations
A "third wave" of democratization has begun. In the early 1990s many countries adopted a democratic system for the first time. Other countries returned to democracy after many years. Entire populations have lined up to take part in the most definitive ritual of all democratic systems: free elections. In Chile, South Africa, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Russia, Cambodia and other parts of the world, citizens have been waiting, sometimes for hours or d…

The Reform of the UN and Cosmopolitan Democracy
With the end of the Cold War has come a new generation of proposals aiming to reform the existing international organizations and even to create some new ones. This article critically assesses these proposals, subdividing them into: (i) projects to institute a UN Second Assembly with members elected by `world citizens' rather than nominated by national governments; (ii) prospective reforms of the International Court of Justice to extend its funct…

Re-Imagining Political Community
Cosmopolitical Democracy
When the nation-state loses many of its traditional powers, Daniele Archibugi argues, democracy requires a cosmopolitan political authority above it. But current ‘humanitarian’ interventions do not fulfil such higher norms—they betray them, as the self-arrogated prerogatives of the few

Demos and Cosmopolis
As representative democracy spreads it is steadily thinning: the nation-states that have been its traditional framework are losing much of their power. Popular sovereignty can only be recovered, Daniele Archibugi argues, in a cosmopolitan order antithetical to its simulacrum in the ‘international community’ of today
A Critical Analysis of the Self‐determination of Peoples
Cosmopolitan Democracy and its Critics
The victory of Western liberal states ending the Cold War inspired the hope that international relations could be guided by the ideals of democracy and the rule of law. In the early 1990s, a group of thinkers developed the political project of cosmopolitan democracy with the aim of providing intellectual arguments in favour of an expansion of democracy, both within states and at the global level. While some significant successes have been achieve…
