Workshop 28th June - The Limits of States, Friends House, London

On 28th June the Interdisciplinary Ethics Research Group is hosting a workshop to discuss 'The Limits of States - Ethics, War, and Migration'.

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.

Introduced by Prof. Tom Sorell (Warwick). Speakers include Prof. Jason Ralph (Leeds); Prof. Nicholas Wheeler (Birmingham); Dr. Cian O'Driscoll (Glasgow); and Dr. Tom Walker (Belfast). To sign up please contact F.Melhuish.1@warwick.ac.uk.
