  Ways to Legally Implement Intergenerational Justice

  Nos démocraties sont confrontées à une nouvelle problématique: il s'agit de la nécessité de prendre en compte les intérêts des générations futures. Telles qu'elles se pensent et s'exercent à l'heure actuelle, nulle place n'est réservée à la protection des hommes de demain au niveau du processus démocratique. Dans ce contexte, les impératifs de justice intergénérationnels ne peuvent être mis en œuvre. Chaque partie politique se focalise bien souvent sur les préférences très actuelles de l'électorat. Nous souhaitons trouver des moyens pour réconcilier la démocratie avec les impératifs de justice intergénérationnels. À cette fin, il est nécessaire d'instituer les intérêts des générations futures au sein du processus démocratique. Le récent échec du Sommet de Copenhage confirme l'urgence de penser à situer les générations futures au sein de ce processus. Comment faire ?

  Equality of Opportunity 2009

  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.
