DONUT SHOPS AND WORLD PEACE: SUBSIDIARITY AND THE BIAS FOR THE LOCAL
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
I trace the principle of subsidiarity (social and legal matters ought to be han-dled at the most local and appropriate level) to show how it has been used as a middle ground to privilege decision making and autonomy at local levels. The use of subsidiarity recognizes that not all decisions are best handled at the local level, in which case other levels (such as national governments and international organizations) should intervene, but that they should do so only if their intervention contributes to the common good, the local good, and the autonomy and dignity of individuals. I show how this principle has been applied in papal teachings, Catholic Social Tradition, by environmentalists, and in criminal justice work.
