PHIL 6260 - Ethics and International Affairs


The relations between nation states and other transnational organizations are often assumed to be governed by realist power relations, and outside the scope of ethical deliberation. In this course we will examine what sorts of ethical norms can or should be brought to bear on international relations. Possible topic areas include both theoretical issues such as the applicability of ethical theory to the behavior of transcultural and international issues, the appropriateness of “Western” ethical norms to the discussion; as well as more specific topics such as global hunger, uneven development more generally, arms proliferation, and environmental security.
