Political Ethics

The Political Ethics Programme is intended to bring together political theorists, empirical political scientists and ethical theorists.  The Programme aims to support research in any area which has a bearing, broadly construed, on the relation between politics and ethics.  This includes: the ethics of the military and warfare; the ethics of intervention; dirty hands in politics; terrorism; rights of minority cultures; international justice; ethical duties of states and governments towards citizens; ethics and foreign policy; and the effects of globalisation.

The programme is currently focusing on projects under two main themes:

 

  • Ethics and Public Policy Making
  • War and Military Ethics
