I've now had a chance to look at the electronic resources from Chatham House and the Carnegie Council in an attempt to narrow down some of the topics and themes for the module this year. My working practices are quite similar to the process of writing an article or essay, involving me dropping relevant articles into Dropbox folders so that these can act as receptacles for knowledge.
As mentioned previously, I've decided to not be too 'theory heavy' in terms of the initial framing of the module as I want the theories to filter through the case studies in our discussions.
Possible topics include:
- Think-Tanks and international activism
- Anti-Diplomacy and International Relations
- Wikileaks and After
- Is there such a thing as transnational justice?
- Choosing the 'greatest' good?
- The ethics of remote warfare
- Syria and the democratic minimum
- Global Justice and Inequality
- International Criminal Law
- Is there such a thing as an 'ethical' foreign policy?
- Just wars? Unjust wars?
- Keep 'em out? The Politics of Migration
- Morality and International Relations
- Private Military and Security Companies
- The ethical limits of national sovereignty
This leaves me with 15 topics or themes in a 12 week module!
