Algunas consideraciones sobre el derecho al libre comercio en la doctrina de Francisco de Vitoria
En las relecciones De Indis y De iure belli de Francisco de Vitoria, el libre comercio se presenta como un “derecho humano” de acuerdo con el ius gentium. Este derecho está enraizado en el derecho de comunicación y asociación. Los derechos a viajar, morar y emigrar lo preceden y también está estrechamente relacionado con los derechos a predicar, proteger a los conversos y constituir príncipes cristianos. En el presente trabajo se defiende que el derecho al libre comercio tiene como último fundamento la ley natural e, indirectamente, la ley divina; que el comercio no es independiente de la ética; y que permite desarrollar la justicia y la amistad, entre otras repercusiones. Francisco de Vitoria se presenta como defensor de la iniciativa privada y del libre mercado

Offshore outsourcing from a catholic social teaching perspective
We explore offshore outsourcing through the lenses of Catholic Social Teaching (CST). First, we review the outcomes of the 30-year debate in business ethics on issues related to offshore outsourcing. We then cluster authors into two groups—the justice-centered approach and the welfare-centered approach—corresponding to different perspectives on the ethical challenges of offshoring. In the second part, we present and apply the four fundamental principles of the CST (human dignity, subsidiarity, solidarity and the common good) to offshoring, in dialogue with the previous debate. The unity and interconnection among the CST’s fundamental tenets provide a cohesive framework that integrates the points made by the justice-centered and welfare-centered approaches, while introducing the principle of solidarity, more focused on the worker as a person and their flourishing. CST also stresses the need to initiate processes oriented toward structural changes for the sake of human dignity and the common good
Virtue and Virtuousness: When will the twain ever meet?
This paper introduces ‘Virtue and Virtuousness: When will the twain ever meet?’ a special edition of 'Business Ethics: A European Review'. The Call for Papers invited contributions that could inform the relationship between organisational virtuousness, as conceptualised by positive organisation studies, and the classical conception of virtues pertaining to individual women and men. Whilst the resources of particular virtue traditions - Aristotelian, Catholic, Confucian and the like - could inform their own debates as to whether virtue extends beyond individuals, the debate between virtue traditions and Positive Organisation Studies has a different dimension. The question is whether the claims of positive social sciences as such are compatible with those of any virtue tradition. We argue that positive social science and virtue traditions are indeed rivals such that adherence to the claims of the one precludes adherence to the other. Resolution to such conflicts requires that one tradition is able to resolve questions that exhaust the resources of the other. This paper suggests that at least one area of incoherence in the findings of positive social sciences can be resolved by virtue traditions and introduces the remaining papers in the Special Edition
