“…Parecido argumento utiliza Susan Moller Okin para criticar la dicotomía entre la justicia y el cuidado 55 . Como especialista en Rawls, Okin argumenta que un correcto entendimiento de la teoría de Rawls debe incluir el reconocimiento de que para desarrollar el sentido de justicia los seres humanos deben ser criados y socializados en un ambiente que desarrolle sus mejores capacidades.…”

Y es que la capacidad del ser humano para empatizar con otros diversos, ser sensible a sus necesidades y responder adecuadamente va a jugar un papel fundamental en un mundo globalizado de interdependencias crecientes. Para ello el artículo aborda la importancia de una filosofía del cuidar para resignificar algunas asunciones dominantes sobre la naturaleza humana y señala el potencial de la ética del cuidado para tratar temas morales en contextos globales. Palabras-clave: ética del cuidado, globalización, ciudadanía cosmopolita, paz, empatía.Abstract: This article discusses the contributions of a philosophy of caring for the construction of a cosmopolitan citizenship in a globalized world. The human ability to empathize with diverse others, be sensitive to their needs and respond appropriately will play a key role in a globalized world of growing interdependences. The article addresses the importance of a philosophy of caring to challenge some key assumptions about human nature and points out the potential of the ethics of care to address moral issues in global contexts.

“…In recent years, feminist moral philosophy has come to be accepted across the social sciences and humanities as a viable alternative -even a preferable alternative -to Kantian normative theory or 'Oxford philosophy' (Robinson 1999). This is because it exhibits at least two strengths.…”

“…Secondly, the paper argues that some forms of town twinning have been attempts to extend care to 'distant strangers' (Corbridge 1993). As such, there is much to learn from them about the problem of 'care at a distance' (Silk 2007) -a central concern for geographers of care who tend to overlook historical examples of 'globalising care' (Robinson 1999) while they focus on contemporary developments (e.g. the extension of market relations into new areas of social life -Lawson 2007) or more abstract debates between feminist and other moral philosophies (e.g.…”

Globalising care? Town twinning in Britain since 1945

Town twinning describes the establishment and practice, by various groups and to various ends, of relatively formal and long-term relationships between settlements usually located in different nation-states. Twin towns are sometimes called sister cities. This paper draws on a study of town twinning that focused on the involvement of British localities since the end of the Second World War and analysed data collected by the Local Government Association (for England and Wales), materials archived in the National Archives at Kew, London and various local record offices, and transcripts of interviews with representatives of relevant local, national, and international organisations. The paper makes three main contributions. Firstly, it provides a brief history of town twinning involving British localities. Secondly, it develops from this historical narrative an original conceptualisation of town twinning, arguing that it should be approached less as a coherent movement and more as a device, a repertoire, and a model. Thirdly, it argues that town twinning has often been used as a device for extending care across space -and that much can be learned from its history for contemporary geographies of care. Town twinning participants have approached the problem of care-at-a-distance as both an ontological problem and a practical problem. Some have focused more than others on the role of distanciated causal relationships in the generation of needs in distant places. Some are currently encountering another problem as they attempt to globalise care: the problem of carein-a-hurry.

Feminism is committed to the equality of women. This is first of all a normative commitment to the equal worth of women and women's experiences. It is also a political commitment to strive to change the practices and beliefs that have subordinated women and treated them as less than equal.Feminists deplore that in virtually all societies throughout history women have been considered inferior to men. Feminists deny that the subordination of women is inevitable. Social and cultural arrangements modify and shape biological or evolutionary tendencies that can be found in human beings, and could counter male inclinations to be aggressive or to dominate, if these exist.The task for feminist political theory is to understand how equality for women might be achieved. This is usually seen as much more than a merely political matter, since it involves culture and society and economic and personal life at many levels and not just the political system or the realms of law and politics. It also involves uncovering the deep biases that exist in political theory as previously developed, reconceptualizing its leading concepts and contesting which concepts should be central to it, inventing new theory for societies and institutions that might achieve the equality of women, and recommending political and social action to overcome women's oppression (Clarke and LangeSome feminist political theorists have adopted a traditional liberal political framework and applied it to issues of interest to women and neglected by nonfeminists. They show, for instance, how justice requires a more equitable division
