LOCATION:Bd. Mihail Kogalniceanu 36-46\, Bucharest\, Romania
DESCRIPTION:<p>The Bucharest Conference in Analytical Political Theory aims to provide an annual forum for the debate of salient contemporary topics and challenges within the field of political theory\, with a specific methodological orientation towards the analytical philosophical tradition. The conference has an international scope\, with both Romanian and international scholars amongst the ranks of participants.</p>\n<p>The topic of the first edition concerns &ndash\; in a broad sense &ndash\; the value of justice\, and in a more narrow sense\, the question of thresholds in justice\, with a distinct (but not exclusive) focus on the patterns of justice that employ thresholds as part of their conceptual framework: limitarianism and sufficientarianism. We therefore welcome papers that address questions such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are there reasons why one should not use thresholds when developing an account of (distributive) justice?</li>\n<li>How could we construct a non-arbitrary threshold for sufficientarian and limitarian views?</li>\n<li>Should thresholds in justice be single-level or multi-level?</li>\n<li>Are thresholds in justice supposed to ground absolute changes or just shifts in the proposed distributive principles above and below the threshold?</li>\n<li>Should we conceive thresholds in justice as being sensitive to cultural context or as being universally justified?</li>\n<li>How do other elements of a theory of justice\, such as the currency\, the site\, or the scope\, interact with the sufficientarian or limitarian patterns?</li>\n<li>What are the connections between threshold-sensitive theories of justice and democracy\, or other important values such as freedom\, responsibility\, efficiency etc?</li>\n<li>What are the implications of threshold-sensitive theories of justice for the public allocation of resources in healthcare\, education\, social protection etc.?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Conference participation is free of charge. The application consists of an extended abstract of approximately 500 words\, which should be submitted at&nbsp\;conference@bcept.eu\, until the 1st&nbsp\;of March 2019. Decisions will be made by the 15th&nbsp\;of March 2019.&nbsp\;</p>
