Course description

This course addresses key ethical dilemmas in world politics. It begins by surveying established and emerging traditions in international relations, such as cosmopolitan, communitarian, feminist, postcolonial and decolonial ethics. The course then engages some of the most challenging ethical issues in contemporary world politics, including human rights, humanitarianism, cultural difference and conflict, international law, Indigenous recognition, inequality, poverty, and climate change. Lecture and seminar discussions comprise innovative teaching methods, including participatory learning, online activities and simulation exercises.
