Abstract = {Among the most influential writings in the history of
Western political thought, John Locke's Two Treatises of
Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration remain vital
to political debates today, more than three centuries after
they were written. The complete texts appear in this volume,
accompanied by interpretive essays by three prominent Locke
scholars. Ian Shapiro's introduction places Locke's
political writings in historical and biographical context.
John Dunn explores both the intellectual context in which
Locke wrote the 'Two Treatises of Government and A Letter
Concerning Toleration' and the major interpretive
controversies surrounding their meaning. Ruth Grant offers a
discussion of Locke's views on women and the family, and
Shapiro contributes an essay on the democratic elements of
Locke's political theory. Taken together, the texts and
essays in this volume offer invaluable insights into the
history of ideas and the enduring influence of Locke's
political thought. © 2003 by Yale University. All rights

Abstract = {There is considerable confusion regarding the ethical
appropriateness of using incentives in research with human
subjects. Previous work on determining whether incentives
are unethical considers them as a form of undue influence or
coercive offer. We understand the ethical issue of undue
influence as an issue, not of coercion, but of corruption of
judgment. By doing so we find that, for the most part, the
use of incentives to recruit and retain research subjects is
innocuous. But there are some instances where it is not.
Specifically, incentives become problematic when conjoined
with the following factors, singly or in combination with
one another: where the subject is in a dependency
relationship with the researcher, where the risks are
particularly high, where the research is degrading, where
the participant will only consent if the incentive is
relatively large because the participant's aversion to the
study is strong, and where the aversion is a principled one.
The factors we have identified and the kinds of judgments
they require differ substantially from those considered
crucial in most previous discussions of the ethics of
employing incentives in research with human
subjects.},

Abstract = {Debates about globalization have centered on calls to
improve accountability to limit abuses of power in world
politics. How should we think about global accountability in
the absence of global democracy? Who should hold whom to
account and according to what standards? Thinking clearly
about these questions requires recognizing a distinction,
evident in theories of accountability at the nation-state
level, between "participation" and "delegation" models of
accountability. The distinction helps to explain why
accountability is so problematic at the global level and to
clarify alternative possibilities for pragmatic improvements
in accountability mechanisms globally. We identify seven
types of accountability mechanisms and consider their
applicability to states, NGOs, multilateral organizations,
multinational corporations, and transgovernmental networks.
By disaggregating the problem in this way, we hope to
identify opportunities for improving protections against
abuses of power at the global level.},

Abstract = {Understood within an economic framework as a form of trade,
incentives appear inherently ethical; understood as a form
of power, incentives seem ethically suspect. Incentives,
along with coercion and persuasion, are among the ways in
which some people get others to do what they want them to
do. This paper analyzes incentives as a form of power in
order to develop criteria for distinguishing legitimate from
illegitimate uses of them. Whereas an economic approach
focuses on voluntariness as the sole criterion in judging
incentives, this political approach yields three standards:
purpose, voluntariness, and effect on the character of the
parties involved. The paper explores issues that arise in
applying these standards. Framing the problem of incentives
as a problem of power reveals the ethical issues with
greater depth and complexity than placing incentives in an
economic frame of reference.},

human types meaningfully be distinguished? Is there a
characteristic set of motivations that drive human beings in
so far as they are political actors and a different set that
drive their economic lives? What are the psychological
foundations of economics and politics? The answers to these
questions have significant implications both for the study
and the practice of economics and politics. If homo
politicus is essentially identical to homo oeconomicus, it
is safe to generalize from the study of economic behavior to
political phenomena. If not, such a procedure will distort
our understanding of politics. Similarly, if we design
political institutions and public policies assuming that
people will behave as they do when they confront economic
choices, we may find our intentions thwarted if we have
neglected the distinctive motivations characteristic of
political action. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media,

Abstract = {Locke stresses the power of custom in shaping opinion and
behavior, though this aspect of his thought has been
underappreciated. Recognizing its importance raises critical
issues, particularly the relation between custom and reason
and the role of authoritative custom in supporting political
and social power. Locke explains in detail the various
psychological and sociological mechanisms by which the power
of custom is manifested; but he nonetheless consistently and
emphatically rejects its authority. Instead, Locke is a
champion of the authority of reason. Because custom is
powerful, but reason is authoritative, Locke attempts to
enlist the power of custom in the service of reason and of
reasonable politics, and because custom is powerful and its
impact unavoidable, individual intellectual independence
cannot mean being without cultural prejudices. At best, it
means the ability to gain some critical distance from them.
These observations place Locke's relation to the
Enlightenment in a new perspective. © 2012 University of

Abstract = {Incentives are typically conceived as a form of trade, and
so voluntariness appears to be the only ethical concern. As
a consequence, incentives are often considered ethically
superior to regulations because they are voluntary rather
than coercive. But incentives can also be viewed as one way
to get others to do what they otherwise would not; that is,
as a form of power. When incentives are viewed in this
light, many ethical questions arise in addition to
voluntariness: What are the responsibilities of the powerful
in using incentives? Can incentives be manipulative or
exploitative, even if people are free to refuse them? Like
all other forms of power, incentives can be abused. This
paper develops criteria for distinguishing their legitimate
from their illegitimate uses, viz. legitimacy of purpose,
voluntariness, and effect on character. The criteria are
then applied to three cases: plea bargaining, recruiting
medical research subjects, and motivating children to learn.
Thinking of incentives in terms of power relations, rather
than as a form of trade, yields a strikingly different
account of the ethical issues involved in their
use.},

Abstract = {In The Passions and the Interests, Hirschman explored a
movement in 18th century thought whose aim was to shape
human motivations by establishing the prominence of
interests, particularly material interests, in order to
diminish the negative effects of the passions in political
life. If the pursuit of gain could replace the pursuit of
glory, for example, commercial transactions might replace
bloody wars as a means of resolving conflict. Hirschman
finds this claim overly optimistic. And, in his view, in
making their case, these thinkers oversimplified and
impoverished our understanding of human psychology by
reducing all motivation to interest - a problem that
persists in contemporary social science. After exploring
Hirschman's account of 18th century thinkers, this paper
attempts a discussion of a richer psychology identifying the
variety of passions that motivate action toward different
political goals; viz. status, justice, solidarity, and
security. These political passions - including ambition,
compassion, righteous indignation, loyalty, and fear - can
have positive as well as negative political
consequences.},

Abstract = {Sexual abuse by clergymen, poisoned water, police
brutality—these cases each involve two wrongs: the abuse
itself and the attempt to avoid responsibility for it. Our
focus is this second wrong—the cover up. Cover ups are
accountability failures, and they share common strategies
for thwarting accountability whatever the abuse and whatever
the institution. We find that cover ups often succeed even
when accountability mechanisms are in place. Hence, improved
institutions will not be sufficient to prevent
accountability failures. Accountability mechanisms are tools
that people must be willing to use in good faith. They fail
when people are complicit. What explains complicity? We
identify certain human proclivities and features of modern
organizations that lead people to become complicit in the
wrongdoing of others. If we focus exclusively on the design
of institutions, we will fail to constrain the perpetrators
of wrongdoing. Understanding complicity is key to
understanding accountability failures.},

Abstract = {John Locke's Some Thoughts Concerning Education began as a
series of letters to his friend, Sir Edward Clarke. Written
during the same period he was writing the final draft of An
Essay Concerning Human Understanding, the Thoughts was first
published in 1693. Locke was as concerned with cultivating
the minds of adults as he was with childhood education. Of
the Conduct of the Understanding addresses this concern.
Locke's thoughts on education are part of his comprehensive
epistemological, moral, and political reflections. For this
reason, this chapter begins by considering the Thoughts and
the Conduct in turn for what they reveal of Locke's
educational principles and recommended practices. Then, it
turns to address the ways in which these writings on
education can deepen our understanding of unresolved
theoretical problems in Locke's thought, of key concepts
such as freedom and reasonableness, and of the degree of
coherence of his philosophy altogether.},

Abstract = {The interdependence of states, globaliza tion of business,
expansion of the scope and authority of multilateral
organizations, and rapid increases in the num ber of
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have heightened
concerns about the way power is used and abused on the world
stage. Controversy about globalization pivots around the
twin issues of accountability and democracy. A crucial
feature of representative democracy is that those wbo govern
are held accountable to tbe governed. If governance above
the level of the nation-state is to be legitimate in a
democratic era, mechanisms for appropriate accoun tability
need to be institutionalized. Yet these mechanisms cannot
simply replicate, on a larger sca le, the familiar
procedures and practices of democratic states.},
