Global Political Thought
Introduktion
Globalization is widely believed to have a destabilizing impact on the very foundations of modern political thought, by making its master distinctions problematic or even redundant. The members of this research group explore the challenges posed by contemporary political practices to the modern distinctions between international and world politics, between public and private, between state and society, and between nature and culture. The main objective is to rethink these distinctions in the light of current theoretical debates and empirical research in order to better understand politics in the present, analytically as well as normatively. Research questions include:
• How can global governance institutions be considered legitimate in the absence of a global demos?
• How can we make sense of the concepts of citizenship, people, and community in the absence of common identities and shared historical memories?
• How do changes in the relationship between nature and culture condition the prospects of sustainable development?
• How are crises and traumatic events constructed and turned into objects of governance and sources of political legitimacy?
• How can we justify the institutionalization of human rights in the absence of any legitimate authority in the global realm?
• How can we distinguish ideologies of empire from cosmopolitan visions of a fair world order in the absence of universally accepted ethical standards?
• How can we understand the role of private actors in global governance in the absence of a firm distinction between public and private spheres?
