88Should Maternity Leave be Expanded?Ethics and Social Welfare 6 (2): 206-212. 2012.On 20 October 2010, the European Parliament proposed to give all women in the European Union (EU) minimally 20 weeks fully paid maternity leave, and to introduce a legal right for all fathers to 2 weeks fully paid paternity leave. In many other countries, individuals and groups are advocating for longer maternity leave, longer paternity leave, and/or longer parental leave. In this paper, I argue for two principles that proposals of maternity/paternity/parental leave systems should respect: the ?…Read more

And is the quality of life of the world's poorest people getting worse or better? These questions are often given conflicting answers by economists, the World Bank, and social activists. One reason for this is that assessments of quality of life can be made in terms of people's income, their resources, or their functionings and capabilities. This essay discusses the pros and cons of these evaluative approaches, and it argues th…Read more

291Trois modèles « éducatifs » : droit, potentialité et capital humainLes ateliers de l'éthique/The Ethics Forum 6 (1): 18-29. 2011.Dans cet article, j’analyse trois logiques normatives qui peuvent fonder les politiques éducatives en portant une attention particulière aux questions liées aux spécificités des sexes.

492CapabilitarianismJournal of Human Development and Capabilities. forthcoming.This paper offers a critique of Martha Nussbaum’s description of the capability approach, and offers an alternative.

First, she unduly limits the capability to two strands of work, thereby ignoring important other capabilitarian scholarship. Second, she argues that there are five essential elements that all capability theories meet; yet upon closer analysis three of them are not really essential to t…Read more
