The human being grows in relationship with others of its fellows, and it is by virtue of this relationship that it receives a particular cultural heritage and acquires its own identity, differentiating itself, finding its own space of freedom and autonomy allowing it to interact and extend its own network of relations.In such a dynamic of reciprocity, the man realizes himself as such as a conscious member of a "social body", i.e. of a radical society in an organic human context, which has become nowadays a clearly planetary one, by virtue of the unpublished migration flows and obvious interdependence of the Planet. The education is a line of human civility and it causes that grounds of anonymity, fears, consumerism, prejudice, haste, indifference, abuse, insecurity, solitude, become grounds of hospitality, trust, sharing, security, friendship, and brotherhood. The patterns of political education having prevailed so far are: the academic model with its explanation and dissent in the abstract of a great deal of knowledge, and that of the laboratory, which tilts and leans over, even by moments of simulation, toward vital worlds of operational policy. It is now manifested a widespread social demand about the necessity to provide to everybody, but especially in the range of basic youth socio-political information, an equipment of historical and values' nature, and by providing comparative elements on the different socio-political matrices and traditions, raising the incentive at a renewing and increasingly conscious commitment in the face of growing difficulties, inherent to the political perspectives disputed so far in the world. It is necessary to refocus and reestablish a political culture uniting the breath of the ideal with the reality of administrative experience, supporting this political culture with the contribution of a dynamic and open reflection, capable of understanding the reality.Keywords: Education; Policy; Citizenship; Culture; EmancipationJournal: International Journal of Economic Behavior

Die Beiträge beschäftigen sich mit den rechtlichen und politischen Implikationen der Verfassungsreform von 1996, die selbst bereits Ergebnis eines jahrelangen Diskussionsprozesses war. Es geht um die Frage, ob es sich um eine grundlegend neue Verfassung oder eine Reform der Verfassung von 1972 handelt, die Bestimmung des Verfassungstextes als vorwiegend politisches oder vorwiegend juristisches Dokument und die Diskussion der Inhalte sowie der möglichen Perspektiven.

This article examines the closer and more complex relationship between the US and Malaysia during the Bush Administration and the closing years of the Mahathir administration. This period marked a new stage in their bilateral relationship, one that placed greater emphasis than before on security ties because of the global war on terrorism. The September 11 attacks have significantly impacted the U.S.-Malaysia relationship, especially as Southeast Asia is now viewed as the second front in the war against terrorism. The Introduction of this article provides some historical context for the relationship by noting the state of the relationship towards the end of the Clinton administration. The second part then discusses the closer U.S.-Malaysian relationship on the political level during the Bush administration. The third part examines the steadily growing economic relationship. The fourth part deals with the growing security ties, especially over strategies to fight terrorism, and will stress that security is now the dominant factor in the bilateral relationship.

Hope is an attitude with a distinctive epistemological dimension: it is incompatible with knowledge. This chapter examines hope as it relates to knowledge but also to probability and inductive considerations. Such epistemic constraints can make hope either impossible, or, when hope remains possible, they affect how one's epistemic situation can make hope rational rather than irrational. Such issues are especially relevant to when hopefulness may permissibly figure in practical deliberation over a course of action. So I consider cases of second-order inductive reflection on when one should, or should not, hope for an outcome with which one has a long record of experience: in other words, what is the epistemology behind when one should, if ever, stop hoping for outcomes which have failed one many times in the past?

This book develops the law of political economy as a new field of scholarly enquiry. Bringing together an exceptional group of scholars, it provides a novel conceptual framework for studying the role of law and legal instruments in political economy contexts, with a focus on historical transformations and central challenges in both European and global contexts. Its chapters reconstruct how the law of political economy plays out in diverse but central fields, ranging from competition and consumer protection law to labour and environmental law, giving a comprehensive overview of the central challenges of the law of political economy. It also provides a sophisticated and multifaceted framework for further enquires while outlining the contours of new law of political economy.

AbstractThe point of departure of this short paper is that, in order to preserve the effectiveness of monetary policy in a world increasingly flooded by private digital currencies, central banks (CBs) will eventually have to issue their own digital currencies. The paper presents two proposals for the implementation of such a currency: A moderate proposal in which only the banking sector continues to have access to deposits at the CB and a radical one in which the entire private sector is allowed to hold digital currency deposits at the CB. The paper contrasts the implications of those two polar paths to a CBDC for the funding of banks, the allocation of credit to the economy, for welfare and for political feasibility. One section of the paper shows that the radical implementation may pave the way toward a narrow banking system and dramatically reduce the need for deposit insurance in the long run. The paper evaluates the relative merits of issuing a currency on a blockchain using a permissionless distributed ledger technology in comparison to a centralized (permissioned) blockchain ledger operated by the CB and concludes that the latter dominates the former in more than one dimension.
