abstract = {Do investors have an obligation to not invest in corporations that contribute to human rights violations? – even when such divestment neither causes changes in the corporations, nor prevents the violations? Is there a justification of divestment that holds up even in the face of general breaches of the norms? Can such a justification avoid reliance on controversial religious views? And are there any grounds to believe that such divestment may be effective against human rights violations, even in the absence of a powerful hegemon that sanctions violations of the norms? 

	The affirmative answers below draw on theories of legitimacy and distributive justice that regard SRI as part of a response to the challenges of globalization. Section 1 frames the issues, drawing on the discussions among Quakers on divesting from the slave trade in the 18th century. Sections 2 and 3 provide a normative defense for some minimal human rights filters on investments under economic globalization. Section 4 addresses several objections.},

abstract = {One area where calls for reform of global regimes and of the actors within them are very vocal and visible concerns the responsibilities of corporations and investors. The normative constraints on the investments of the Norwegian Government Pension Fund may be explained and assessed by such trends and standards. The following reflections first comment on globalisation and moral cosmopolitanism. Section 2 lays out a ‘standard’ case for why corporations may legitimately restrict their objectives to value creation for their owners – within domestic settings – and why this argument fails to hold under circumstances of globalisation. Section 3 presents some of the most salient normative objectives and standards for investors, concerning shareholder activism and exclusion. Sections 4 and 5 present the Norwegian Pension Fund Global and how its Council on Ethics brings certain normative standards to bear. Section 6 considers potential conflicts and benefits of coordination between two activities: those of shareholder activism and exclusion, arguing for certain ways to address the conflicts from a cosmopolitan perspective. Section 7 concludes by drawing some lessons from this case.},

To the contrary, the same method should govern such research as other philosophical work: the method of 'reflective equilibrium' which seeks the mutual accommodation of moral judgments at various levels of generality to arrive at a consistent theory. 

One of the central philosophical topics - and one which also seems to create confusion among philosophers and other scholars alike - concerns the appropriate relationship between international, legally binding human rights norms and 'moral' or philosophical human rights. One source of confusion is that they both serve as critical standards for, or constraints on, domestic legislation. For this reason they sometimes seem to be conflated. The article considers two prominent recent attempts at addressing or using that relationship: those of Amartya Sen and Charles Beitz, and uses the method of Reflective Equilibrium to indicate some of their strengths and weaknesses.},

abstract = {The French and Dutch referendum rejections of the Constitutional Treaty on Europe brought political attention to simmering academic debates about the EU’s legitimacy and identity, which form core topics of normative political theory. This review presents some of the central approaches and research issues of the political theory of the European Union. The “normative turn in EU studies” (Bellamy and Castiglione 2003) is evident in several research topics addressed by normative political theorists. Section 1 gives a brief overview. The field.has a long though meagre pedigree, some highlights are sketched in section 2. Worries about a ‘democratic deficit’ did not emerge in response to the Constitutional Treaty. To the contrary, such concerns fuelled the call for such a constitution, and they gained political salience already in response to the contentious Maastricht Treaty ratification process. That recent history is sketched in section 3. Popular and legal conflicts strengthened the claims of many politicians and scholars that the European Union suffered from a ‘legitimacy deficit’ that had yet to be resolved. Section 4 dissolves this apparent consensus by exploring experts’ different choices of symptoms, diagnosis and prescriptions regarding this deficit. Section 5 provides a taxonomy of concepts of legitimacy, institutional mechanisms of legitimation, and objects of legitimacy. Section 6 combines several though not all - of these disjointed insights into a somewhat unified perspective that incorporates empirical concepts of legitimacy as compliance in an account of citizens’ political obligation to obey normatively legitimate political orders regarded as an assurance problem faced by ‘conditional compliers’ under complex structures of interdependence. Section 7 concludes with a sketch of some current normative research on the European Union},

Section 2 seeks to provide an overview of these disagreements, and then offers some suggestions for how to alleviate those deficits there may be..

This fits with the received view among scholars, that Union Citizenship was introduced in an attempt to create a closer bond between Europeans and the Union institutions. 

 

Section 1 sketches the increased need for complex forms of trust among ever more interdependent Europeans. Section 2 draws on the literature on Assurance Games to explain one important role of citizens’ socialization to certain civic duties. Section 3 identifies some elements of such civic duties in the EU on the basis of a distinct Liberal Contractualist normative theory.

abstract = {At least five theoretical issues deserve attention if we want empirical research to confirm or disconfirm particular Theories of Deliberative Democracy (TDD) (1) What are the characteristics and the main claims of interesting and distinct TDD? (2) Which are the best alternative theories and their implications? (3) Does deliberation actually occur in ways that only some TDD can explain? (4) Which institutional and cultural factors are conducive to normatively attractive deliberation, and under what conditions? (5) How just, reasonable or legitimate are the outcomes of a proposed theory, both when its norms are generally complied with and under conditions of partial compliance? 

The present brief reflections contribute to the first two of these topics, to help identify the theoretical work required to proceed with relevant empirical research. I shall argue that this task requires a reconfiguration of the theoretical ideal types and distinctions prevalent in the literature on TDD. 

This focus on the explanatory value added of TDD by means of an empirical research agenda highlights two weaknesses of some of the literature. Section 2 explains how some of the influential literature on deliberative democracy uses “deliberation” in a too broad sense. This point is briefly substantiated by Jon Elster’s influential discussion. 

A second weakness is that the competing theories used as backdrop for statements of TDD are presented as “ideal type” straw men rather than selected as the best competitors. Section 3 shows how TDD often have been contrasted with a particularly narrow version of rational choice theory and bargaining theory, instead of more plausible competitors. Unfortunately, this straw man has been labeled “liberal” in ways that has caused confusion. Some research on alleged sightings of deliberation in the European Union institutions illustrates the methodological challenges of such skewed comparisons. Section 4 argues that TDDs must identify their main claims more carefully against the best contenders in each case so as to allow better empirical research.},

And what is the scope of permissible economic inequality across states in such a federation of democracies committed to domestic solidarity? ... John Rawls contributed to these topics in The Law of Peoples (LP), which stresses the intertwined issues of toleration, stability and legitimacy that face these political relations across political borders. Can this Law of Peoples shed light on the legitimacy of emerging regional political orders such as ... the European Union? 

The account offered here seeks to respect state sovereignty even in the face of some human rights violations, and it accepts a degree of material inequality among individuals in different sub-units of a federation. In particular, the European Union may have a differentiated human rights policy, and solidarity does not require a European-wide Difference Principle. The Difference Principle, even if appropriate for domestic justice, need not apply to a federal order. 

But the conception of human rights for federations must be more complex than Rawls’ account focused on human rights in a ‘nonfederated’ international order. That difference in domain of application is not a criticism of the Law of Peoples. However, a central weakness of Rawls’ account is that it offers inadequate arguments within its own intended domain of application. International stability for the right reasons requires more than a statement of the limits of toleration about “how far nonliberal peoples are to be tolerated”},

foreigners within the black box of their own state. The new philosophical framework, associated with the expression “global justice,” may not be so comfortable. Central to this framework is the causal impact of the design of the global institutional order upon the conditions under which human beings worldwide are living. 

Within this general global-justice approach, distinct conceptions of global justice will differ in the specific criteria of global justice they propose. But such criteria will coincide in their emphasis on the question of how well our global institutional order is doing, compared to its feasible alternatives, in regard to the fundamental human interests that matter from a moral point of view. Extending institutional moral analysis beyond the state, this question focuses attention on how the massive incidence of extreme poverty and violence in the world today might be reduced not merely through better government behavior, internally and internationally, but also, and much more effectively, through global institutional reforms that would, among other things, elevate such government behavior by modifying the options governments have and the incentives they face.},

The challenge is particularly striking with regards to comitology, one of most perplexing and by some lights most worrisome elements of the European institutions. Dehousse notes the links between compliance and legitimacy when remarking that "Comitology's legitimacy is not merely a normative issue: it is likely to become a political problem." 

The present essay explores some problems involved in the first of these two challenges, by presenting and critically assessing two recent attempts at justifying comitology, those of Majone - Regulatory State and deliberative democratic- Deliberative Supranationalism.},

abstract = {.This volume examines closely the roots and contemporary forms of the phenomenon of political consumerism. The United Nations, Amnesty International, and other international governmental and nongovernmental organizations claim openly that they must rely on market actors to accomplish their goals. ... In recent decades, consumers’ product choice has been increasingly influenced by a growing concern for transnational and global issues of justice, care for the dnvironment, and human rights. Global movements and networks help mobilize consumers to make political and ethical purchases. 

... Part I, entitled “Making Money Morally,” concerns why it may appear controversial to call upon market actors to act in a morally responsible way. ...political consumerism challenges the traditional division of private interest pursued by private actors in the market, and public interests pursued through political means. It crosses over this division in its attempts to compensate for ethical unfairness in a variety of ways. Yet the practices of political consumption also create new dilemmas often ignored by consumers. 

Andreas Føllesdal explores philosophically why we need to concern ourselves with the moral responsibility of the market in the world today....Among his concerns is the development of normative criteria for assessing the legitimacy of political consumer action in the global marketplace that aims at supplementing governmental regulation. He wonders how these citizen watchdogs can develop and maintain their credibility and integrity in the absence of global, institutionalized checks and balances. 

Paul Kennedy’s chapter focuses on the impact of political consumers on business. He asks what happens to business as a market actor once it adapts itself to more ethical and political concerns. .. 

Part II, entitled “Consumer Choices and Setting the Agenda of 

Politics,” focuses on three basic questions ...: what is new about using the market as a site for politics, how effective is it, and does it always promote good causes? ...Monroe Friedman discusses in his chapter three important criteria for evaluating consumer boycotts: their successfulness, effectiveness, and ethical quality.... 

Cheryl Greenberg’s chapter draws on American history .. . there is nothing inherent in political consumerism that guarantees the moral respectability of its pursued goals, and that good motives do not replace the need for strategic planning.... 

David Vogel’s chapter also draws on the United States. to show how outraged Americans have expressed their concern over political injustices in the marketplace. ...citizens with clear political preferences can use their economic power to pressure corporations 

to consider ethical issues as part of their policy agenda. 

Part II moves from historical cases ..W. Lance Bennett’s and Jonah Peretti’s chapters make clear how the media play an important role in mobilizing support for large campaigns that criticize existing corporate practices. 

Bennett focuses on campaigns directed at large, globalized corporate enterprises. ... 

Jonah Peretti’s chapter, together with Michele Micheletti, describes Peretti’s request to order a pair of customized Nike shoes with the name ”sweatshop” on them, turned him into a global celebrity... 

“Building Responsible Institutions in Multi-Risk Society” is the 

title of Part III, with the establishment of new political consumerist institutions as the central theme.... Franck Cochoy’s chapter shows how the old and established institution of standardization, .. has revamped itself into an institution for product certification that reflects consumers’ concerns.... 

The chapter co-authored by Andrew Jordan, Rüdiger Wurzel, Anthony R. Zito, and Lars Brückner offers a comparative assessment of the important national eco-labeling schemes now in operation in Europe. .Two important ingredients of success are consumer support and market competition. ...Benjamin Cashore, Graeme Auld, and Deanna Newson discuss a labeling scheme of increasing importance: forest certification schemes.... 

Part IV, “Politicizing Consumers and Change in Politics,”... political participation has involved the relationship between citizens and their government, which in turn regulates the market. ... Jørgen Goul Andersen and Mette Tobiasen present findings from the most comprehensive survey investigation of political consumers to date. 

Bente Halkier’s chapter uses focus group interviews of green consumers to assess the extent to which political consumerism involves important dimensions of political participation.... Michele Micheletti’s study ... shows that women were and still are more present as political consumers.... Dietlind Stolle and Marc Hooghe’s chapter focuses more directly on the controversial issue of whether political consumerism can be seen as a successful additional tool in political life that might substitute for the lack of traditional political involvements. ...},

The study of political consumerism, as well as its interpretation as a political phenomenon, both challenge and question how we conventionally conceive of political participation in three important ways. 

First, political consumers focus on new targets of their political actions; 

second, mobilization for political consumerism blurs the public and private divide, and finally, a related consequence is that political consumerism constitutes a truly individualized form of participation. 

We discuss each of these challenges in turn. .... 

We draw three conclusions here. 

First, political consumerism shows how market-based, new regulatory forms (i.e., soft law) can be a constructive force in our ever more risky world, but its impact is yet to be determined. 

Second, political consumerism is developing into an international regime in its own right. 

Third, given the growing significance of political consumerism globally, and particularly the growth of its institutions, it is becoming increasingly more urgent for scholars to evaluate its legitimacy, democratic and otherwise.},

The paper defends these claims, based on the indigenous ancestors’ historic control over territories later forcefully incorporated into a state, combined with the impact of their ancestors’ culture on present practices and expectations. Past injustice affects the claims of present members to arrangement of political decision-making over the territory and to substantive benefits.

Critics have argued that such loyalties are incompatible with 'cosmopolitan' universalist liberalism, on at least two grounds. The article seeks to rebut these objections from a liberal contractualist position similar to that of Rawls, Dworkin and Scanlon. Liberal theories are thought to disallow deviations from impartial treatment and therefore rule out substantive special claims among compatriots. The scope for contractualist partiality is the subject of section 2. Liberal theories are also considered unable to account for political duties -- the duty to comply with the just laws and institutions of one's own state. The contractualist grounds for political allegiance are addressed in section 3. This is not to say that liberal contractualism endorses nationalism understood as a principle of political order, that political and cultural/ethnic boundaries should coincide. A brief sketch of some elements of Liberal Contractualism is presented in section 1.},

abstract = {The EU poses at least two challenges to a traditional conception of sovereignty .... First, the EU involves multiple territorial levels of decision-making, reminiscent and perhaps prescient - of federal political orders of a kind known as ‘coming together federations’ ... Secondly, EU institutions often include private actors in public decision-making in order to increase responsiveness and proximity to affected parties. ... we grapple with the major philosophical questions: what kind of polity? And with what moral right, if any, do European politicians now rule, and claim citizens’ compliance? .. 

We explore topics already well established in the EU literature: subsidiarity, diversity, democratic and legitimacy deficits, and institutional balances of power. 

·	Constitutionalism: should the Union have a Constitution? If so what should it contain? How was the draft text arrived at and what does that process tell us? 

·	European values: are there any common values, and, if so, what are they? How might they co-exist with particular (e.g. national) values? In particular, should religious heritage(s) be mentioned in the Constitution? 

·	Liberty and power(s): different actors, ideologies, and states pursue different forms of liberty, with resulting theoretical and political tensions - between sovereignty as freedom to act, and immunity understood as non-domination; and differing imperatives for centre, large states, and small states; for majorities and minorities. 

·	Common or European interest: lofty sentiments regarding common European objectives are often muddled or conflated, different actors intending quite different things. What clarifications of the different senses of these terms can we offer? 

 These essays contribute towards a systematic understanding of the sometimes profound differences in conceptions of what legitimacy requires, and what political power is for, in the European Union.},

This concerns the operation of informal networks which link policy-makers to client groups as well as actors across EU, national and sub-national institutions, and influence (or at least seek to influence) decision-making in the EU. ... 

Observers have pointed to the potentially self-defeating competition between rival interest groups to gain access to, and be heard by, the Commission official(s) in charge of their ‘dossier’ ... one may criticise the very closeness (or cosiness?) of the relationship between policy-makers and interest groups as a violation of the principles of representative democracy, such as one-person-one-vote and political equality. In terms of this critique, the precise nature of the relationship between Commission officials and interest groups then takes centre stage.... 

This volume provides a systematic examination of the informal aspects of EU governance which are either in the margins of traditional analyses or ignored altogether. Building on the insights developed above, we consider informal governance as the operation of networks of individual and collective, public and private actors pursuing common goals which lead to cooperation, patterned relations and public decisions - through regular though non-codified and not publicly sanctioned exchanges in the institutional context of the European Union. ... 

In sum, informal governance must strike a balance between transparency and opaqueness, democracy and aristocracy, inclusiveness and selectiveness. Governance fails to spell out how a balance is drawn, how it is reached, and why it should be respected by citizens as legitimate and authoritative. Because of its practically expeditious, yet normatively dubious, nature, governance has more than family resemblance with several political phenomena of long standing in Europe: pluralism and neo-corporatism as mentioned above, and clientelism addressed below 

Drawing in part on normative analysis of pluralism, neo-corporatism and clientelism, we can identify several issues that are problematic with regards to the legitimacy of informal governance:...Authority.... Participation ...Assurance ... 

... a system relying as heavily on informal governance as does the European Union will not only find it difficult to gain the legitimacy of a wider public expecting democratic accountability from formal institutions. ...},
