The challenges of democracy today

The challenges of democracy today
Within the framework of the Universitat d'Estiu UIB 2001 has programmed for the 20th and 21st of September the XII Jornades de Filosofia del Dret.

The days "Els desafiaments de la democràcia avui" are coordinated by Sebastián Urbina, professor of Philosophy of Law at the UIB, with the participation of Nicolás López Calera, professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Granada, Aleksander Peczenik, professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Lund, Vicente García Marzá, professor of Philosophy and Sociology at the University Jaume I, and José Rubio Carracedo, professor of Philosophy at the University of Málaga.

Sebastián Urbina, writes, commenting the objectives of days: "democracy, as society, also has its challenges. As an example we can mention the economic model. Is there an alternative to the market economy? Which? How can we achieve it? The cultural diversity and the migratory movements obliges the democratic institutions to give more complex answers for pacific coexistence. Should we accept everything? Yes or no? Why? The education will be (is) one of the big challenges that the party demagogy will not be able to solve".
