The Articulated Life: An Interview with Charles Taylor
Philosophy of Management, 2001Co-Authors: Ruth AbbeyAbstract:Charles Taylor is one of the most prolific and wide-ranging philosophers in the English-speaking world today. He writes with authority in the fields of moral theory, political philosophy, theories of language, the history of western thought, epistemology and hermeneutics.1 Currently an Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at McGill University, he has enjoyed a distinguished academic career which includes being Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at Oxford University. He has also been active and influential in the politics of his native Quebec, arguing passionately for recognition of Quebec as a distinct society, but against the province’s secession from Canada. For many years he has been a member of the New Democratic Party. The American philosopher Richard Rorty described him as ‘among the dozen most important philosophers writing today’ and one of North America’s ‘most thoughtful politicians’. He is interviewed here by Ruth Abbey.

ESFERA PÚBLICA EM Charles Taylor
2014Co-Authors: Charles TaylorAbstract:This text deals with the notion of the public sphere, known as communitarian, developed by Charles Taylor. Gets its name because the Canadian philosopher thinks the public sphere as an common space in which the members of society, by several means, are in a process of intercommunication, and this common space would be outside the political ambit and would be manifested in public opinion. Through a bibliographic exploration, the paper makes some central considerations about the thought of Taylor's public sphere, focused, mainly, in the fourth chapter of his magnum opus: A Secular Age. From this, the text aims to show the place of theology within this context of the public sphere and concludes pointing the important contribution it can offer at this common space to bring to light themes such as respect for human and universal solidarity, valuable principles for questions of ethics and citizenship.

Public Opinion and Foreign Policy: Analysing Nigerian Reactions to the Asylum Offered Former President Charles Taylor of Liberia
African Journal of International Affairs, 2010Co-Authors: Ojieh Chukwuemeka OjioneAbstract:On July 5, 2005, exactly two years after the asylum offer to Charles Taylor in Nigeria became public knowledge, President Obasanjo was at the Assembly of the 5th Ordinary Session of the Heads of State and Government of the African Union, in Sirte, Libya, calling for protection against the harassment of Nigeria by some sections of the international community ‘over the country’s refusal to surrender former Liberian President, Mr Charles Taylor, to face trials at the International War Crimes Tribunal’. But from the inception, the Nigerian public had virulently opposed the asylum idea. Still, government received Charles Taylor in Nigeria on August 11, 2003. Why? Why was public opinion unable to reverse the state’s policy? Using the methodological tool of content analysis, this article identifies the bases of public opposition to the asylum offer, which involves principally a general disdain for the person of Charles Taylor, given his antecedents. Regardless, the Nigerian government went ahead and provided asylum to Charles Taylor, putting what it considered Nigeria’s interest first. The government adopted, therefore, a mode of moral judgment that was antagonistic to that of the people whom it is ideally supposed to stand for. The article concludes that the dynamics which characterise the art of statesmanship, in which the primary responsibility is the survival of the nation-state, overpower the potential of public opinion to exert decisive pressure, since the bulk of the public is believed to be largely inarticulate or uninformed.

terror terrorizing terrorism instilling fear as a crime in the cases of radovan karadzic and Charles Taylor
Springer series in transitional justice, 2014Co-Authors: Marlies GlasiusAbstract:This chapter examines recent instances of the prosecution of the crime of ‘spreading terror’ or ‘acts of terrorism’ by international criminal courts and relates its introduction to changing legal and political understandings of the nature of war. It discusses emerging jurisprudence on ‘terror’ as a crime before zooming in on two high-profile trials, that of Radovan Karadzic before the Yugoslavia Tribunal and that of Charles Taylor before the Special Court for Sierra Leone. By means of discourse analysis and interview materials, the chapter demonstrates how the prosecution promotes and the defence contests; how the judges grapple with; and how war-affected elite observers in Liberia have understood the introduction of ‘terror’ and ‘terrorism’ into the courtroom. The chapter places the recent judicial appetite for taking interpretive risks in the context of changing understandings of war and measures to prevent or civilize war.

Constructions of legitimacy: the Charles Taylor trial
International Journal of Transitional Justice, 2012Co-Authors: Marlies Glasius, Tim MeijersAbstract:This article examines the discourses of the prosecution and the defence in the case of Charles Taylor before the Special Court for Sierra Leone. It contributes to current debates about the legitimacy and utility of international criminal justice, which have tended to neglect the examination of actual trials, and particularly the role of the defence. We draw on the legal doctrine of ‘expressivism’ to theorize the connection between normative legitimacy, actual support and the utility of international criminal justice as dynamic and partly determined in court. We conclude that the Taylor trial demonstrates three interrelated obstacles to the fulfilment of the expressivist promise: that a tension between criminal proceedings against a single person and truth telling about mass violence necessarily exists; that discourses do not appeal to all audiences equally, and that those which appeal to western audiences are likely to be privileged; and that these weaknesses will usually be exposed and exploited by the defence, weakening the legitimacy of case and court. In order to develop expressivism as an empirical theory, the elements of the actors, the audiences and the stage in the posited ‘courtroom drama’ require further research.
