Center for Global Ethics and Politics

Our homepage is: http://cgep.ws.gc.cuny.edu

The Center for Global Ethics and Politics explores the ethics of globalization and the development of more effective transnational understanding and cooperation to deal with vexing issues of poverty, ethnic and cultural conflicts, and environmental degradation. The Center's research and colloquia seek to clarify key value questions that confront contemporary societies, including the requirements of global justice; the meaning and scope of human rights; new forms of cosmopolitan democracy; intercultural perspectives on ethics; strengthened institutions of global governance; and more effective transnational forms of democracy and solidarity. The Center's Director, Carol C. Gould, is Distinguished Professor in the Ph.D. programs in Philosophy and Political Science at The Graduate Center, CUNY and in Philosophy at Hunter College, as well as Editor of The Journal of Social Philosophy.
