DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institutes' Center for European Studies welcomes&n
 bsp\;Annabelle Lever\, professor of political philosophy and permanent res
 earcher at the Centre for Political Research at Sciences Po (CEVIPOF).The 
 right to stand as an electoral candidate to the legislature (and to serve 
 if selected) is the neglected stepchild of democratic theory. Although it 
 is generally accepted that adequate protection for the right to stand\, no
  less than for the right to vote\, marks a distinction between democratic 
 and undemocratic elections\, the right to stand has received little\, if a
 ny\, attention in the philosophical or social scientific literature. The a
 im of this talk is to show why that is a mistake\, and how attention to th
 e right to stand illuminates the democratic potential of elections.Annabel
 le Lever received a Ph.D. from MIT and started her academic career as a le
 cturer\, then assistant professor at the University of Rochester in New Yo
 rk. Before moving to Sciences Po\, Paris\, she taught at the University of
  Geneva (Switzerland) and held research and teaching positions at the Univ
 ersity of Manchester\, the London School of Economics and the University o
 f Reading. She has published widely on sexual and racial equality\, securi
 ty and democratic theory\, is the author of On Privacy\,&nbsp\;editor of N
 ew Frontiers in the Philosophy of Intellectual Property\,&nbsp\;and co-edi
 tor of The Routledge Handbook of Ethics and Public Policy and of the journ
 al CRISPP (the Critical Review of International Social and Political Philo
 sophy).
