Ethics and International Relations
Themes
The course explores the possibilities for ethical action in international affairs. It is common to theorize international relations in terms of interests and power, but this fails to account for the frequent invocation of the language of justice and fairness in actual international interactions. Drawing on readings from political philosophy, normative international relations theory, feminist theory, critical theory, and post-colonial theory, the course addresses ethical dilemmas encountered in world affairs.
