| Summary: | At what point can we concede that the realities of world politics require that
moral principles be compromised, and how do we know when a real ethical
limit has been reached? This volume gathers leading constructivist scholars
to explore the issue of moral limit and possibility in global political dilemmas.
The contributors examine pressing ethical challenges such as sanctions,
humanitarian intervention, torture, the self-determination of
indigenous peoples, immigration, and the debate about international criminal
tribunals and amnesties in cases of atrocity. Their analyses entail
theoretical and empirical claims about the conditions of possibility and
limits of moral change in world politics, therefore providing insightful
leverage on the ethical question of ‘what ought we to do?’ This is a valuable
contribution to the growing field of normative theory in International
Relations and will appeal to scholars and advanced students of international
ethics and political theory. |
