WORKSHOP 28th June, 11am-5pm
The Limits of States: Ethics, War, and Migration Friends House, Euston Road, London
Convened by the Interdisciplinary Ethics Research Group, University of Warwick (www.warwick.ac.uk/ierg)
Sign up with Francesca ([log in to unmask])
From the refugee crisis to the newly shifting plates of the world order, the limits of states have never been more critical. This workshop brings together a series of thinkers whose research examines the frontiers of war and security. How can we treat people ethically at borders? What special obligations towards refugees arise out of military intervention? How far can an existing state-based international order be hospitable to the protection of individual and global security in a nuclear world? What counts as a military victory and what rights do victors acquire? Each raises important further questions about the way that we understand the relations between states, and this workshop will provide an opportunity both to examine those issues independently and to identify their interdependencies.
