  • Ronald Dworkin on Democracy and Judicial Review
    2014
    Co-Authors: Ronald Dworkin, Julián Gaviria
    Abstract:

    We have seen in the last few decades the growth of the so-called democratic or majoritarian objection that has challenge the democratic pedigree of the increasingly popular institution of judicial review. In this paper we summarize Dworkin’s Conception of Democracy as partnership Democracy and the way in which judicial review fit in this more general Conception.

  • The Partnership Conception of Democracy
    California Law Review, 1998
    Co-Authors: Ronald Dworkin
    Abstract:

    Professor Michelman takes up a central issue of political and constitutional theory in his intriguing Brennan Lecture-the bewitching idea that Democracy means self-government. We say that Democracy is valuable because in a Democracy the people govern themselves, and it is this sense, rather than any supposed instrumental advantages Democracy enjoys over other forms of government, that explains its great contemporary popularity. But we have great difficulty in stating what the claim of self-government means. Democracy cannot provide self-government in the most literal sense: individual citizens cannot have a veto on law or

  • Democratic Theory and Political Science: A Pragmatic Method of Constructive Engagement
    American Political Science Review, 2007
    Co-Authors: Archon Fung
    Abstract:

    This article develops two conceptual tools to synthesize democratic theory and the empirical study of institutions. The first is a standard to assess Conceptions of Democracy calledpragmatic equilibrium. A Conception of Democracy is in pragmatic equilibrium just in case the consequences of its institutional prescriptions realize its values well and better than any other feasible institutional arrangements across a wide range of problems and contexts. Pragmatic equilibrium is a kind of Rawlsian reflective equilibrium. The second is amethod of practical reasoningabout the consequences of alternative institutional choices that brings Conceptions of Democracy closer to pragmatic equilibrium. These two ideas are then applied to four Conceptions of Democracy—minimal, aggregative, deliberative, and participatory—and to two governance problems—deciding rules of political structure and minority tyranny—to show how each Conception can improve through reflection on the empirical consequences of various institutional arrangements.

  • Public Administration as Pragmatic, Democratic, and Objective
    Public Administration Review, 2008
    Co-Authors: David L. Hildebrand
    Abstract:

    In the foregoing essay, Patricia M. Shields argues that public administration and administrators should support a much greater incorporation of classical pragmatism than has been the case to date. This paper supports that conclusion by focusing on classical pragmatism’s central benefit to public administration: its ability to provide the field with a claim to objectivity that it badly needs, but which Shields barely mentions. It shows how objectivity is closely connected to a pragmatic Conception of Democracy, and how this Conception of Democracy is diametrically opposed to one built on a fact/value (or administration/politics) dichotomy.

  • ronald dworkin s justice for hedgehogs and partnership Conception of Democracy with a comment to jeremy waldron s a majority in the lifeboat
    Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoría del Derecho; No 4 (2010), 2010
    Co-Authors: Imer B. Flores
    Abstract:

    In this article the author focuses mainly in the last part of Ronald Dworkin´s Justice for Hedgehogs and in his argument for a partnership Conception of Democracy. For that purpose, first, he recalls some of the main features that Dworkin had advanced in previous but intrinsically related works, about political morality, equality and Democracy; second, he reassess the arguments for a partnership Conception of Democracy; third, he reconsiders the resistance produced by Jeremy Waldron in his “A Majority in the Lifeboat” and the response provided by Dworkin, but since it may appear insufficient, he intends to present an alternative —or complementary— riposte in order to meet Waldron’s challenge; and, finally, he insists in the importance of taking Ronald Dworkin seriously.
