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 or harmful, right or wrong, virtuous or vicious, just or unjust, or legitimate or illegitimate. The seminar introduces students to an understanding of the role of values in shaping identities; the function of norms and institutions in organizing collective action; to discussions of the changing world order, and to the idea of historical progress. Participants of the seminar select three contemporary challenges of a globalized world – in typical examples, the challenges of climate change, of forced migration, the justice of wars and interventions, the future constitution of Europe, or the responsibility of business for global sustainable development –, review these challenges from an ethical point of view, and learn how to exercise their own ethical judgement. How can ethical reflection help us to live together in a shared world?
