  Afonso Henriques International Meeting: on constructing and consolidating monarchies in Medieval West (12th-13th centuries)

  Identities and Limits

  In the year which marks the 900th anniversary of the birth of the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, the Centro de História of the Faculdade de Letras of Lisbon, decided, within the frame of its Research Group on Identity Models, to host an International Meeting in which experts on the construction and legitimation of new or renewed political entities and bodies, during the 12th and 13th centuries, as well as on the theoretical support for such development, might meet in order to debate and compare both the forms and the mechanisms involved in the construction of these new political realities and relationship between powers, which strangely enough seem to assume quite similar features in Medieval West during that period.

  Equality of Opportunity 2009

  Whose Opportunities? A Critique of Equality

  The meeting is of a scientific nature, envisaging dialogue among some of the most influential and original theorists of social policies of today. The common goal is to attempt to define the state of the art in the crucial discussion of Left-wing social policies in the 21st century, namely social equality, thus contributing to producing a well-balanced presentation of egalitarian political thought oriented for the future, as well as a well-defined ethics of responsibility necessary for the accomplishment of the social goals of the Left. The more specific goal is to contribute to clarifying the relation between equality of opportunity and meritocracy, in order to come to terms with the series of displacements that the notion and practice of «equal opportunities» has suffered since it came into the political debate in the post-French Revolution world.
