19Auseinandersetzungen um die civitas maxima in der Nachfolge Christian WolffsStudia Leibnitiana 33 (2). 2001.This article studies the reception of Christian Wolff's theory of the civitas maxima by Hermann Friedrich Kahrel (1719-1787) and Michael Hanov (1695-1773). According to his previous work mentioned in the article (n. 2), the author considers the concept of civitas maxima as a methodological innovation.

19Lost in Universalization? On the Difficulty of Localizing the European IntellectualIn Francis Cheneval, Justine Lacroix & Kalypso Nicolaidis (eds.), Cheneval, Francis (2010).

Oxford: Oxford University Pres, . pp. 31-49. 2010.European Stories is the first book of its kind in any European language.

The chapters focus on the post-1989 era but with a view to the long history of the 'European idea' and its variants across the continent. To what extent such ideas frame the attitude of European publics is left open. …Read more

17Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar: EU citizenship, direct democracy and treaty ratificationEuropean Law Journal 13 (5): 647-663. 2007.This article argues that obligatory, simultaneous, and simple Treaty ratification by referenda is the next step in the consolidation of the political core of European citizenship.

In the second part, the normative and empirical case in favour of direct democracy is put forward. It is followed by the assessment of direct democracy in European integr…Read more

16In dieser Schrift begründet Dante die Priorität der Volks- und Muttersprache vor der lateinischen Gelehrtensprache und fordert eine italienische Hochsprache.

Dank einer originellen Interpretation des biblischen Mythos vom Turmbau von Babel legt er eine vernünftig begründete Neubewertung der Vielfalt und der historischen Entwicklung der Sprachen vor. Das Problem der Sprache stellt sich im De…Read more

13An Ethical View on Remittances and Labor MigrationGlobal Justice Theory Practice Rhetoric 5 16-30. 2012.The present contribution defends that remittances should be taken into account and integrated into an ethical framework on migration. This main thesis is two-fold. First, we argue that if a normative approach to migration is to claim practical relevance, it should integrate remittances as a relevant empirical parameter into an ethical framework. The empirical assessment of the scientific evidence available on remittances therefore proves to be extremely important. Secondly, assuming that remitta…Read more

5Les nouveaux et nombreux défis de la constellation " postnationale " rendent plus actuelle que jamais une ancienne idée philosophique : le cosmopolitisme. Dans ses variantes modernes, celui-ci pose l'autonomie de l'individu humain comme norme fondamentale de toute construction politique. Le cosmopolitisme représente donc une alternative aussi bien au nationalisme qu'à la théorie normative d'un monde multipolaire de confrontations entre empires. L'ouvrage montre que le cosmopolitisme peut être co…Read more
