“…En Du contrat social Rousseau utilizó unos materiales muy livianos en la construcción de la sociedad; le bastó con que un conjunto de individuos libres e iguales se asociara por medio de un pacto mutuo para que de un deseo de su voluntad germinara de manera espontánea el entero edificio del Estado, compuesto de un órgano soberano integrado por todos los pactantes o Voluntad General; 7 de leyes, que no eran sino otras tantas manifestaciones de su voluntad, y a las que estaban sujetos los demás poderes públicos, así como la totalidad de los súbditos (los integrantes del Estado fuera de él), 7 La Voluntad General, al estar compuesta por todos, no admite la representación; al ser soberana, rechaza la división de poderes; al ser individuos singularmente considerados quienes la integran, se opone a cualquier tipo de asociación o partido que aísle en grupos a los ciudadanos y los enfrente entre sí (Rousseau, 1964: II, 1; II, 2 y II, 6). pero no el legislativo que las hacía; y, finalmente, del poder que las aplicaba, el ejecutivo (también se alude al poder judicial, si bien de este apenas había noticia en el libro), que podía tener tres formas, monárquica, aristocrática o democrática, aun cuando se prefiriese la segunda, 8 y siempre dependiente del legislativo soberano.…”

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos examinar el papel desempeñado por las ideas que acerca del nacionalismo es posible rastrear en las doctrinas políticas de Maquiavelo y Rousseau, incluyendo su repercusión sobre el orden establecido con anterioridad a su elaboración. Como tales repercusiones afectan negativamente a las respectivas teorías de la política y la democracia, llevaremos a cabo también un breve análisis acerca de si el mal aportado en ambas concepciones constituye asimismo un destino prescrito para el nacionalismo

“…Of course, all of these countries do not incorporate direct democracy in a strict sense of truly direct, immediate and perpetual government by the people, which is a task that has been recognized as improbable if not impossible for centuries [2]. Rather, a modern understanding of direct democracy is one of direct democratic procedures that give voters an opportunity to have a say in legislative issues in addition to the "standard" periodic election of representatives [3].…”

Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind? Mobilization Cascades in Direct Democratic Initiatives.

This paper explores the possibility of mobilization cascades in direct democratic popular initiatives. A mobilization cascade is a salience-based mobilizing effect whereby one popular initiative has a positive mobilizing effect on a subsequent popular initiative that deals with with a similar policy issue. The existence of a mobilization cascade would imply that voters develop salience for and positive attitudes towards policy issues merely through directdemocratic exposure to those policy issues in the recent past. In order to explore the mobilization cascade, I analyze three popular initiative pairs from Switzerland from the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. In each year, two initiatives dealt with similar policy issues, and the second initiative in each pair was making more far-reaching demands. The results suggest that a mobilization cascade might exist, but that it is probably a weak effect.

“…33 (This is also, incidentally, the transcendent function that Robespierre sought to confer on his revolutionary deity at the Fête de l'Être Suprême on 8 June 1794). 34 In order to hand down justice to the people, Rousseau's imaginary law-giver has to find a voice that is neither that of the magistrate nor the sovereign.…”

André Chénier's ‘Dernières poésies’: Animism and the Terror

Abstract:Starting from the premise that André Chénier's poetry is fundamentally pantheist in nature, this article identifies animism as one of its most important modes of expression. The pantheist belief structures and animist dynamic also inform his final poems written during the Terror (1793-1794). Yet in this psychologically constraining and physically violent world, they produce a deeply 'uncanny', often bestial, vision of the Revolution and its actors. What is more exceptional is that this animism also inspires the figure of the Jacobins' unwavering enemy, a figure at once of Aristotelian magnanimity and implacable animosity towards the revolutionary regime. Chénier's last poems thus institute a corrective 'justice' to the perceived abuses meted out by the Jacobins' executive and judicial systems. They do so, moreover, by appropriating the revolutionaries' own performative and nominative speech acts, making Chénier a poet-legislator paradoxically close in character to Rousseau's mythic law-giver in Du contrat social.
