This paper presents a reconstruction of the critical theory of justice in recognition of Axel Honneth. Develops the idea of social freedom that supports his conception of justice, in confrontation with the ideas of negative and reflective freedom that feed the traditional debates of justice in contemporary political philosophy. It shows the scope and limits of the author's reflection and proposes Amartya Sen's approach to capacities as a framework for social analysis that contributes to correcting the deficiencies of the proposal for a critical theory of justice as recognition.

The paper addresses vulnerability to Global Environmental Change of rural producers of Mendoza River basin, in Argentina. Vulnerability is a complex phenomenon that is generated at the intersection of environmental, social and economic dimensions. From a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with producers of the study area, the paper explain the processes affecting actors (exposures / sensitivities) and the practices (adaptations) they develop to address these phenomena. The main idea is that hydroclimatological events act on a number of previous, long-term vulnerabilities defined by access to resources. Also it shows that resources are critical to the development of adaptive capacities, but finds that "availability of resources" and "capacity building" are not phenomena always related by a linear and direct causality. That is, sometimes the mere existence of resources is not enough to foster adaptive capacities. Noting some capacities gaps, the article identifies critical factors that could improve rural actors' capacities and could strengthen them to cope with future global climate events and other factors that affect their living conditions.

Within the context of the distinct changes caused by the globalization phe-nomenon, there is a strong competitive rivalry in several economic sectors. Small companies face real obstacles in order to be competitive. This paper studies the marketing management process contribution to the small service companies' competitiveness in order to explore its concept from an economic perspective through the theory of resources and capabili-ties. This paper has a quantitative focus in which the deductive method is used in the outcome interpretation phase and theoretical construction. The services offer in Medellín sometimes meet effectively the needs and likes of a more increasing and demanding market, which leads to a marke-ting associated problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction- This article is based on the interest of configuring tools to diagnose capacities and reference the needs and different criteria to integrate resources and routines so that Higher Education Institutions achieve systemic innovation objectives as a result of the strategic and operative management of capacities for the creation and dissemination of knowledge. For this reason, this article sets forth the approximation to a categorization model of innovation capacity indicators for Higher Education Institutions. It also concerns about its relationship with knowledge transfer processes based on the generation and classification of indicators regarding the resources and necessary routines in order to manage this transference. All this to influence business development from a knowledge management perspective. Objective- The purpose of this paper is to design a rubric model based on criteria and indicators in order to facilitate the evaluation of innovation capacities in Higher Education Institutions. Methodology- The development of the project used a documentary qualitative method of descriptive character in which the following phases were defined: Search for sources and bibliographic data to support the methodology developed; analysis of studies conducted by authors on measurement models and their results to weigh the indicators that were required to analyze the capacities proposed by the functional approach of innovation capabilities; and finally, ponder resources and routines to present a diagnostic scheme of innovation capabilities in two Higher Education Institutions. Results- The results lead to the analysis of innovation dynamics in Higher Education Institutions under a model of innovation capabilities. Conclusions- The identification and adequate management of innovation capabilities will allow obtaining the necessary competitive advantages for organizational sustainability, differentiation and strengthening of the university-company relationship.

One way to evaluate the internal problems of companies and to know the sources of their competitive advantages is studying its resources and capabilities. Resources are the basis of capabilities, which can be developed and converted into strategic capabilities that lead to obtain a competitive advantage or equality. This paper proposes a methodology to identify and assess the current capabilities of industrial SMEs in a region in Argentina in order to find its competitive effect. In this way, four main capabilities called management, innovation, marketing and integration are defined. At the same time, capabilities are divided into "sub-capabilities" comprised of resources. They are evaluated to determine if they are present in the companies studied. Subsequently, the VRIO test is used to define the competitive effect of the capabilities. The developed methodology systematizes the evaluation of strategic capabilities in the framework of the theory of resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I try to reconstruct the arguments developed by Fichte in his work Foundations of Natural Right (1796/1797), in order to support the necessity of a recognition of capabilites and rights by the other, so that the self can constitute itself as self-consciousness. I also take into account the criticisms the fichtean theory has received by many contemporary interpreters, testing its consistency in the light of these arguments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to establish a link between participation assessment from the viewpoint of the subject, and the variables of socioeconomic strata and residence in the Zulian capital, as an operationalization of the aspects of "capacities" and "opportunities conditioned by urban development," respectively, aspects developed in the theory of human and endogenous development. As a framework for analysis, a general characterization of the sociopolitical dimension of Venezuela is established, emphasizing clientelism as a constant that produces vertical instigated participation (Meister) instead of self-reliant participation (Max-Neef). The assessment was developed through consultation of 10 Lickert-type items and the respective categorization of the participation assessments into positive (autonomy and self-reliance), negative (dependence on State power) and neutral categories. The main results of the investigation are: 1) participation assessment varies according to socioeconomic strata; 2) participation assessment varies in lower-income strata according to whether people reside in the capital area or not; 3) the intensity of positive and negative participation assessments by these lower-income strata is high; 4) there is a tendency towards positive participation assessment by stratum A; 5) there is a uniformity of neutral positions in the middle class strata, as well as among those who do not reside in the state capital. The study proves that in the State of Zulia, a participation assessment exists based on "dependence on State power" that coexists with another positive (endogenous) assessment of participation oriented towards development.

The paper presents Amartya Sen's critique of the anthropological model that underlies the conception of neoclassical economics (especially in its utilitarian and rational choice versions), in order to present the conception of subject offered by the abilities approach and then the notion of development as freedom.

Drawing on Amartya Sen's theoretical insights, this paper analyzes indigenous women's poverty in the Sierra Negra, Puebla, as well as their development capacity resulting from their participation in the "Sociedad de Productores Indígenas Ecológicos Sierra Negra Sociedad Civil" (SPIESN, S. C.). Data was collected using a quanti-qualitative approach: a survey, eight in-depth interviews, three participatory workshops and field participant observation were conducted. Results indicate that women value literacy, own-income generation, and land ownership. However, they also face structural limitations when attempting to develop capacities in these areas. Their participation in the organization has given positive results to this effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we propose specific meanings for the notions of capacity and competence in the context of a Secondary mathematics teacher training program. We briefly describe this program, and present a procedure with which prospective teachers can reflect on students' learning in the classroom and use these notions for planning didactical units.

This paper investigates the justification of cultural rights in the framework of the capabilities approach. In principle this approach does not oppose to this justification, but it establishes significant restrictions for this justification, and correspondingly it is not compatible with the multicultural claims.

The concept of social citizenship, as formulated by Marshall in the middle of the 20th century, is in crisis. Its most evident sign is the impact of the privatization policies iniciated by neoliberal governments in 1980. This paper attempts to open a debate about its future, which is linked to the examination of what we understand as welfare. In Amartya Sen's work, it is possible to find patterns that allow us to go in this direction and ask if it is time to move from welfare focused on covering needs to another whose aim would be the creation of capacities.

"Communities of Meaning as Collective Capabilities. A Communitarian Revision of Amartya Sen's Theory". Sen's Capability Approach it is distinguished in the field of the distributive justice, because It has tried to set evaluatives terms that exceed the atomism of the Utilitarian theories. But some critical thinkers have pointed out that the Approach still keep an individualistic style that restrict its impact at the moment of implementing public policies. For these critics, Sen's basic concepts must be complemented with the idea of collective capability, irreducible to indivudual terms, that allows to account to the intersubjective process of agency and the personal identity constitution. This paper will attempt to present a plausible candidate to the collective capability, that respects the live core of the communitarian comments and that keeps the capability and agency concepts, which are fundamental in Sen's theory.

The objective of this paper is to analyze one of the main features of the Digital Economy: Network Externalities. These Externalities produce a positive feedback that generate, in many cases, a monopolistic scenery. We will identify the most important internal capacities to achieve success in presence of Network Effects and the main strategies that can be developed in his context. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
