(Versión española abajo)
Despite the climate of political disaffection derived from the
reduction of democracy and the positive reinforcement of apathy, new
forms of participation have emerged during the last decade, spurred
by indignation and supported by the emergence of platforms and
technologies of information and communication 2.0. In Spain, part of
this flow has achieved representation in the Government, from where
it continues questioning the political effects of liberal democracy,
such as the validity of the Constitution, and proposing the need to
examine the territorial model, the right to decide and the
plurinationality of the State.
On the other hand, political Right wings have returned strongly to
their principles of action, seducing sectors threatened by fear and
(the other) anti-globalization, through the neutralization of
criticism and difference, xenophobic discourses, the rejection of
immigration and the repudiation of refugees, racism and islamophobia,
etc., and generating a wave that has recently reached a critical
point with the beginning of the new United States government, the
European turn to the Right, and -parliamentary- soft forms of
authoritarianism in Latin America.
The XIV International Conference on Political Philosophy “The
Challenges of Political Transformation” aim to value the
transformation of the political space of the last decades and to
analyze, from the perspective of political philosophy and related
social sciences, the challenges that political extremism, the
nationalist hermeticism, the exclusion and the neoliberal
reconversion presents to society. That is why we invite the academic
community and all interested people to participate, presenting
communications that respond to this motivation, articulated around
problems, transformed into provocation, such as the challenges to new
forms of participation; how are transforming the political action and
the quality of democracy the communication platforms and the social
web? Challenges to international politics and political philosophy;
how do they challenge the political alternatives, democratic
diversity, the reemergence of populism, the restitution of the Right
and political extremism to the current philosophical thought? Or,
finally, the challenges to contemporary critical theories and
practices; what forms of political action and new theoretical
approaches to racism, xenophobia, forced immigration, etc., are seen
on the horizon as a renewal of criticism?

Los desafíos de la transformación política
XIV Jornadas Internacionales de Filosofía Política
A pesar del clima de desafección política derivado de la reducción de
la democracia y el refuerzo positivo de la apatía, durante la última
década han surgido nuevas formas de participación, espoleadas por la
indignación y auspiciadas por el florecimiento de las plataformas y
las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación 2.0. En España,
una parte de este flujo ha alcanzado la representación en el
gobierno, desde donde continúa poniendo en entredicho los efectos
políticos de la democracia liberal, cuestionando la vigencia de la
Constitución y postulando la necesidad de examinar el modelo
territorial, el derecho a
