    • What does it mean to have an equal say? 

      Kapelner, Zsolt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-17)
      Democracy is the form of government in which citizens have an equal say in political decision-making. But what does this mean precisely? Having an equal say is often defined either in terms of equal power to influence political decision-making or in terms of appropriate consideration, i.e., as a matter of attributing appropriate deliberative weight to citizens’ judgement in political decision-making. ...

    • What is the incoherence objection to legal entrapment 

      Hill, Daniel; McLeod, Stephen; Tanyi, Attila (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-02-25)
      Some legal theorists say that legal entrapment to commit a crime is incoherent. So far, there is no satisfactorily precise statement of this objection in the literature: it is obscure even as to the type of incoherence that is purportedly involved. (Perhaps consequently, substantial assessment of the objection is also absent.) We aim to provide a new statement of the objection that is more ...

    • Who Needs to Tell the Truth? - Epistemic Injustice and Truth and Reconciliation Commissions for Minorities in Non-Transitional Societies 

      Reibold, Kerstin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-08)
      Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) have become a widely used tool to reconcile societies in the aftermath of widespread injustice or social and political conflict in a state. This article focuses on TRCs that take place in non-transitional societies in which the political and social structures, institutions, and power relations have largely remained in place since the time of injustice. ...

    • Who should be granted electoral rights at the state Level? 

      Duarte, Melina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This paper has a twofold aim in determining who should be granted electoral rights at the state level, one negative and another positive. The negative part deconstructs the link between state-level political membership and citizenship and contests naturalization procedures. This approach argues that naturalization procedures, when coercively used as a necessary condition for accessing electoral ...

    • Why indigenous land rights have not been superseded - a critical application of Waldron’s theory of supersession 

      Reibold, Kerstin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-09)
      Jeremy Waldron introduced the notion of rights supersession into the philosophical discussion about restitutive justice in cases of historic injustices. He refers to land claims by indigenous peoples as a real-world example and as an application of his theory of rights supersession. He implies that the changes that have taken place in settler states since the first years of colonialism are the kind ...

    • Why Refugees Should Be Enfranchised 

      Kapelner, Zsolt Kristóf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-08)
      Many authors argue that refugees should be enfranchised independently of citizenship. The enfranchisement of refugees is often seen as crucial for affirming their agency in the politics of asylum. However, most arguments in the literature do not explain why precisely it matters that they exercise their agency in the realm of democratic decision-making, i.e. why it matters that refugees participate ...

    • World Government, Social Contract and Legitimacy 

      Abumere, Frank Aragbonfoh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-22)
      The notion of world government is anathema to most political theorists. This is the case due to the arguments that a world government is infeasible, undesirable and unnecessary. This threefold argument is partly predicated on the assumption that in world politics the larger a geographical and political entity is, the greater the chance of it becoming unstable, ungovernable and, ultimately, illegitimate. ...
