The Journal of Law, Social Justice and Global Development

Современные процессы глобализации имеют немало положительных сторон, сопряженные с улучшением экономического положения людей, перемещением товаров по всему миру, освоением новых технологий, демократическими, модернизационными процессами. Вместе с тем у глобализации имеются и негативные стороны, негативно воздействующие на этнические, национальные культуры, верования, порождающие масштабные социально-классовые расслоения в различных обществах, падение уровня социальной справедливости, нравственности, возникновение экстремистских и террористических проявлений, истоки которых далеко не всегда ясны. Эти процессы предполагают осуществление диалога в различных структурах организации общества, межличностных, межгрупповых, межгосударственных. Через диалог между людьми, странами, государствами необходимо осуществлять поиск новых интеграционных ценностей, которые могли бы способствовать поиску новых стратегий глобального развития человечества. Modern processes of globalization have many positive aspects associated with the improvement of the economic situation of people, the movement of goods around the world, the development of new technologies, democratic, modernization processes. However, globalization has a negative side that negatively impact ethnic, national culture, beliefs, generating major social and class stratification in different societies, the decline of social justice, morality, the emergence of extremist and terrorist manifestations, the origins of which are not always clear. These processes involve dialogue in various structures of the organization of society, interpersonal, intergroup, and interstate. Through dialogue between people, countries, States, it is necessary to search for new integration values that could contribute to the search for new strategies for the global development of mankind.

Central Social

This article claims that the protection of children’s capability for play is a central social-political goal. It provides the following three-premise argument in defense of this claim: (i) we have strong and wide-ranging normative reasons to be concerned with clusters of social deficiency; (ii) particular fertile functionings play a key role for tackling clusters of social deficiency; and finally (iii) the capability for childhood play is a crucial, ontogenetic prerequisite for the development of those particular fertile functionings. Thus, in so far as we consider it a central political goal to tackle social deficiency, we should be concerned with protection of childhood play capability. This conclusion raises new insights on the importance – for global development policy as well as for welfare states’ aim to secure social justice – of protecting children’s capability to engage in playful activities.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
