- Title
CONSENSO SOBREPOSTO E ESTABILIDADE INTERNACIONAL.
- Authors
Nunes Oliveira, Fernando
- Abstract
Here we present an introduction to the theory that we call Legitimacy as Fairness. The purpose of this theory is to support the thesis that the international stability offered by the searching for a overlapping consensus of states, which is sought by the method of reflexive equilibrium, is more efficient than the four alternatives I call "standard" to international practices and to theories that inform policies. They are: Stability brought by an international institution with exclusive use of force; Stability brought by a balance between powers; Stability brought by a balance of power sought as a shared value; An hegemonically imposed peace. We see the theories of political realism in international relations as the ones from which can be raised the greatest objections to our proposal. Therefore, we made use of arguments that are present in the works of relevant authors of this tradition of research as starting point to the issues that should be taken into account by the Legitimacy as Fairness. In our proposal we make use of the concepts of overlapping consensus and reflexive equilibrium in a way analogous to which they appears in Rawls's Justice as Fairness, establishing as provisional values the ones of International Jus Cogens and a virtue to be developed by international agents that is related to Aristotelian phronesis.
