Beschreibung

As an inquiry into responsible solutions for global problems, Ethics in International Relations is an opportunity to explore the role of governments, economic forces, and civil society in shaping a future world we have reason to value. At the core of global transformations towards a new world order lie questions about values and principles – what is good and bad, right and wrong, just and unjust, or legitimate and illegitimate. The seminar introduces students to an understanding of the role of values in shaping their own identity; the function of norms in organizing collective action; to discussions of the changing world order, and to the idea of progress. Participants of the seminar select three contemporary challenges of a globalized world – for example, the threat of pandemics, climate change, global migration, or economic injustice –, review these challenges from an ethical point of view, and learn how to exercise their own ethical judgement. How well will we live together in a shared world?
