| Summary: | This paper uses the scientific field of Conflict Studies, within the framework of Peace Research. It is based on a philosophic conception of the “human condition” and is guided by the notions of empowerment and recognition as tools suitable for the pacific transformation of conflicts. It also looks at the relation of the doctrine of recognition with the problem of inequality and with a political philosophy of justice. It maintains that one cannot separate policies of recognition, more closely linked to identity and culture, from policies of justice, more attent to the pacific transformation of human inequalities, poverty, indigence, marginalization and exclusion. As an example of this proposal, it uses the most recent report of the United Nations Human Development Program. |
