Prize Competition Theme: Philosophy and International Relations Type: RIP/CUP Essay Prize Institution: Royal Institute of Philosophy Location: London (United Kingdom) Date: 2018 Edition Deadline: 1.10.2018 __________________________________________________ Arguably, philosophers have been thinking about issues regarding the status and relations between nations for as long as they have been thinking about nations themselves. With the development of colonisation and empires in the 16th and 17th centuries, however, serious consideration began to be given to the philosophy of relations between peoples, and this was further intensified with the rise of the nation state in Europe in the 19th century and the competition and wars between ‘great powers’. Entries for this competition may address such general issues as the nature of nations, states and international and multi-state entities, and the basis for normative relations between them (e.g. ‘realism’ vs ‘moralism’, and ‘nationalism’ vs ‘cosmopolitanism’). More specific and practical issues might also be taken up; such as the basis for international aid; immigration and refugees; wars of self-defence vs wars of humanitarian intervention; international terrorism; globalisation of finance, trade and services; and environmentalism and global threats, etc. In assessing entries priority will be given to originality, clarity of expression, breadth of interest, and potential for advancing discussion. All entries will be deemed to be submissions to Philosophy and more than one may be published. In exceptional circumstances the prize may be awarded jointly in which case the financial component will be divided, but the aim is to select a single prize-winner. Entries should be prepared in line with standard Philosophy guidelines for submission. See: http://royalinstitutephilosophy.org/publications/philosophy-information-for-authors/ They should be submitted electronically in Word, with PRIZE ESSAY in the subject heading, to: [email protected] The closing date for receipt of entries is 1st October 2018. Entries will be considered by a committee of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, and the winner announced by the end 2018. The winning entry will be published in Philosophy in April 2019.
