Human capital:theoretical and empirical insights

There is nothing more difficult to plan, more Doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage Than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would Profit by the preservation of the old system, and Merely lukewarm defenders in those who should gain By the new one. N. Machiavelli (1513) Abstract: The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we want to challenge the notion of "human capital" as "education, training and work experience" and suggest that it is the "quality of the workforce" that matters, here defined as the set of characteristics that allow workers to function in a specific institutional and historical context. Our main conclusion is that the quality of the workforce is affected by the institutional environment where the workers live and that therefore it can vary across countries and institutional contexts. Second, we want to show the empirical relevance of this last point by testing the extent to which the quality of institutions (here proxied by the governance indicators of Kaufmann etal. (2007)) can affect the quality of the workforce (proxied by the percentage of the working age population registered in a lifelong learning program). Our empirical analysis is conducted on a data-set of 11 European countries observed over the period 1996-2006. The results indicate that countries with better governance indicators are also endowed with a more qualified workforce. © 2011 American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Inc.

Religión, utopismo y realismo político en el renacimiento

This article examines the opposition between utopism and political realism in the context of Renaissance. First, it analyzes the question about the historical continuity or rupture of Renaissance from the Medieval imaginary. After that, it considers the question of religion in Moore ́s Utopia and Campanella’s City of the Sun and compares them with Machiavelli’s texts. Finally, it thinks about the relationship between Renaissance utopism and religion.

Machiavel: l’unité de l’oeuvre et la pérennité du pouvoir politique

L’objet de cette recherche est d’unifier les idées de Machiavel en les réunissant autour de la notion de pérennité du pouvoir politique. Après avoir fait ressortir séparément les grands thèmes des deux oeuvres majeures de Machiavel, soit Le Prince et les Discours sur la première décade de Tite-Live, nous tenterons d’établir une théorie politique pertinente pour les deux grands types d’États analysés par l’auteur italien, soit les monarchies et les républiques. Bien que Machiavel utilise fréquemment des exemples précis et qu’il analyse les situations au cas par cas, son but est toujours d’assurer que le système politique en place perdure. Nous voudrons sortir quelque peu de la méthode machiavélienne afin de regarder les idées de l’auteur dans leur généralité. Ce faisant, les rapprochements entre la pérennité d’une principauté et d’une république seront plus évidents, ce qui permettra de faire ressortir une théorie politique unifiée dans l’oeuvre de Machiavel.
