    • Ageing in Place and Autonomy: Is the ‘Age-Friendly’ City Initiative Too Elderly-Friendly? 

      Angell, Kim (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05)
      This chapter discusses the ‘age-friendly cities’ initiative aimed at enhancing people’s opportunity to age in place. It presents an autonomy-based defence of the idea and examines the moral claim that the elderly can make in support of their ability to age in place. The chapter emphasizes, among other considerations, that ageing in place can have cognitive benefits through the routines and habits ...

    • The All Affected Principle, and the Weighting of Votes 

      Angell, Kim; Huseby, Robert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-18)
      In this article we defend the view that, on the All Affected Principle of voting rights, the weight of a person’s vote on a decision should be determined by and only by the degree to which that decision affects her interests, independently of her voting weights on other decisions. Further, we consider two recent alternative proposals for how the All Affected Principle should weight votes, and give ...

    • Chris Armstrong on Global Equality and Special Claims to Resources 

      Angell, Kim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-29)
      In ‘Justice and Natural Resources,’ Chris Armstrong offers a rich and sophisticated egalitarian theory of resource justice, according to which the benefits and burdens flowing from natural (and non-natural) resources are ideally distributed with a view to equalize people’s access to wellbeing, unless there are compelling reasons that justify departures from that egalitarian default. Armstrong discusses ...

    • Secession and political capacity 

      Angell, Kim; Huseby, Robert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-30)
      We argue that plebiscitary theories of secession have more permissive implications than has thus far been recognized, by proponents and critics alike. The plebiscitary theory aims to devise a principle for the moral right to secede. This principle implies, we claim, that the view under many circumstances is unable to distinguish between secession of collectives and individuals. Thus, not only large ...

    • Should Rawlsian end-state principles be constrained by popular beliefs about justice? 

      Angell, Kim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-19)
      Although many accept the Rawlsian distinction between ‘end-state’ and ‘transitional’ principles, theorists disagree strongly over which feasibility constraint to use when selecting the former. While ‘minimalists’ favor a scientific-laws-only constraint, ‘non-minimalists’ believe that end-state principles should also be constrained by what people could (empirically) accept after reasoned discussion. ...

    • Should We Increase Young People’s Voting Power? 

      Angell, Kim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-28)
      This paper argues that democratic collectives have reason to increase the voting power of their younger members. It first presents an intuitive case for weighted voting in general, before drawing support from a prominent principle of democratic inclusion – the all affected principle. On a plausible understanding of that principle, a decision may affect people to varying degrees, and this ...
