About Ethics and World Politics
Formed in 2015, the distinctive contribution of the Working Group will be to forge a vibrant research community around three central questions:
- how do we theorise ethics, world politics and their interrelationship
- how is theoretical reflection on ethics and world politics related to the practical conduct of politics
- what are the unique challenges and responsibilities of teaching ethics and world politics.
Recognising theoretical and methodological heterogeneity, we exercise leadership in the sub-discipline by organising debates on pressing themes via workshops, seminars, and small conferences; supporting early career scholars and postgraduate students; and facilitating engagements between academics, policy-makers and practitioners.
