🚨Troath and Ainley address "ethical contestations and power shifts taking place in global politics," and imagine just political futures in their contribution to 'Toward a different IR'. #openaccess #InternationalRelations #AcademicPublishing www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
ABSTRACT
"The ethics panel held for the ANU IR Department’s 75th birthday
asked panellists to respond to the theme of resistance, power,
and the new global ethical order. Vasuki Nesiah, Lana Tatour,
James Blackwell, George Carter and Bina D’Costa painted a rich
picture of the very political nature of ethics and the contests for
ethical leadership currently energising global politics, as well as
our responsibilities as academics. Inspired by their comments, this
article draws out the themes common across their presentations.
First, we focus on the political, practical, and material nature of
ethics, and the current ethical contestations and power shifts
taking place in global politics. Second, we turn to the need to
generate new ways of imagining just political futures and
contesting existing hierarchies. Finally, we focus on the ways to
tackle these challenges through going local, engaging with
communities, and building solidarity".  Keywords: Ethics; international order; Palestine; Indigenous rights; climate
