About
My research project is concerned with two different questions. In my opinion, both questions are strongly related. Also, both are controversial and theoretically complex to address. The first question is concrete and it has been recently on fashion, is the question raised by the European Court of Human Rights in UK v Hirst: Can prisoners be deprived of their political rights? The second question is more abstract and has regain attention in the academia since the revival of republicanism, though it is and has always been the capital question of the democratic thought, is Rousseau’s question: how can the citizen be self-governed?
My research does not pretend to answer these questions; instead it seeks to explore the connections that could be made between them. This inquiry pretends to find a way to address the concrete issue of the prisoner’s political rights. The way in which I would like to explore this issue is trying to connect the deprivation of political rights with the current ideas about the meaning and structure of a democratic political community.
