Chapter 6 focuses on trade policy and the environment and the ways in which differing goals in the two camps can be reconciled. It also shows how trade does not typically harm the environment, how the WTO does not prevent countries from following strong environmental policies, and how using the WTO to try to enforce environmental standards is the wrong approach to the problem.Less

This chapter shows that mid‐ and late‐ seventeenth‐century booksellers' catalogues designate public theatrical masques, Interregnum closet pieces, and Restoration operas as “masques.” Masques were more than nonce works, instead retaining commercial appeal long past their performance dates. This chapter cross‐reads masques from different venues, contained within plays, intertextually mentioned in pageants, parodied in ballads, and recorded in gossip. Masques' habitual intertextual allusiveness contributes to the genre's self‐conscious explorations of how drama constitutes authority, their canniness contradicting New Historicist symptomatic readings. Case studies include two intertextually related masques of 1617–18 (White's Cupid's Banishment, produced by a London girls' school, and Jonson's courtly Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue); a cluster of 1630s masques of temperance (Milton's Ludlow masque Comus, Davenant's courtly Luminalia, Thomas Nabbes's public theatrical masque Microcosmus, Thomas Heywood's Lord Mayor's show Porta Pietatis); and Shirley's spectacular 1634 Triumph of Peace.Less

The best way to reveal the contemporary relevance and interest of the naturalistic interpretation of Hume's “reconciling project” is to show the striking affinities between it and P. F. Strawson's influential views on this subject. Whereas the classical interpretation presents Hume as an obvious and notable target of Strawson's criticisms, the naturalistic interpretation presents Hume as anticipating the general strategy that Strawson advances in his influential paper “Freedom and Resentment.” There are, however, several significant points of contrast, as well as resemblance, between Hume and Strawson, and this includes Hume's more detailed concern with the relevance of necessity for the actual operation of the moral sentiments.Less

As new reproductive technologies reflect cultural meanings and become a conduit for changing cultural practices, they signify both a challenge to and a reinforcement of the moral order. In light of enhanced politicization of gender experiences vis-à-vis technology, the moral economy of new reproductive technologies, built on a cultural ideology of productivity, maintains the status quo. Women and men struggling with infertility confront cultural ideologies surrounding gender norms. They seek a fit between their life situations and the cultural ideologies to which they subscribe. Given the implausibility of this task, they have been forced to work intensively with cultural dialogues in order to reconcile their experiences with cultural expectations. In doing so, they have been performing gender. This chapter takes stock of the challenges that this task entails. It consists redefining the predominant cultural ideals of manhood and womanhood. It requires altering pre-defined notions with customized ones.Less

Many policy areas of the German welfare state that are important for understanding the gendered implications of extended working lives have been reformed over the years-not only employment and pensions, but also child and long-term care. The country has been perceived as successful in especially turning a pronounced early retirement culture around. In this chapter a feminist political economy of ageing and life course perspective is applied, which shows a more differentiated picture, one that does not show a success story for all. Especially women and lower qualified person work part-time in later stages of their career or leave the labour market before state pension age, which is disadvantageous in social insurance countries, such as Germany. It is expected that old age incomes will become more polarised and old age poverty will grow.Less

This chapter addresses the argument that human rights should be not be the responsibility of courts, but of the legislature. Instead of regarding courts and the legislature as mutually exclusive, however, it asks whether we can create a role for justiciable human rights which reinforces democracy. Section II considers democratic objections to justiciable human rights, and canvasses potential responses. Section III examines three ways to reconcile the role of courts with democracy: representation-reinforcing, dialogic, and deliberative theories. It concludes that courts should enhance the democratic accountability of decision-makers by insisting on a deliberative justification for the interpretation or limitation of rights. Section IV turns to objections based on lack of judicial competence to address complex, polycentric issues raised by human rights. Using the example of India’s public interest litigation, it examines ways in which the court structure might be adapted to address these concerns. Section V considers remedies and implementation.Less

This chapter addresses some possible lessons from studies of accountability processes in the context of the European continent in an era of discontent and reduced trust in representative political institutions and leaders. It returns to how democratic accountability, political order, and orderly change are interrelated and affect each other. It explores what studies of accountability can tell us about how democracies reconcile order and flexibility, continuity and change, and what insight accountability processes offer about the shifting meanings of key terms such as democracy, politics, the sovereign state, and constitutional choice. European integration has opened the way for accountability politics related to the terms of political order. There is disagreement over what a legitimate political order is. The politics of accountability involves competing interpretations of normative and organizational principles and how to democratically settle crises and conflicts, and institutional contestations and reassessments can have potentially order-transforming effects.Less

Andrews admired Tagore’s writings and studied them with scholarly care as he was conversant with the Bengali language. Speaking of his poetry in an early letter, Andrews wrote to Tagore: ‘I find in them the nearness of God’s Presence and that is all-sufficing; for all our questionings and difficulties are resolved in that; and calmness comes back when that is attained.’ Gandhi and Tagore became close from 1915 after Gandhi came to Santiniketan for the first time on his return from South Africa and England. As their letters show, there was profound agreement between them despite some serious differences. Tagore saw Gandhi’s greatness above all other considerations. And Gandhi sought Tagore’s counsel for his political decisions and Tagore’s blessings for his fasts every time.Less

The conclusion highlights some lessons that this history has for American Catholicism in particular and American society in general. This history recalls the ways in which one people dealt with sin (personal and social), repentance, confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation—issues that were widely shared in various religious traditions and in American society in general in the past, which have been significantly neglected or marginalized in the present religious as well as political culture. The examination of a particular tradition can help to throw light on how American society got to its present condition and how a specific religious tradition contributed to the present state of affairs. What happened within American Catholicism had an effect on society’s language and values. The post-Tridentine American Catholic tradition on penance and the most recent breakdown of penitential language and discipline in the Catholic Church reflected and/or contributed to the same phenomena in American society.Less
