InterPhil: CFP: The Ethics of Business, Trade and Global Governance
__ Call for Papers Theme: The Ethics of Business, Trade and Global Governance Type: 4th Annual Conference Institution: Center for Ethics in Society, Saint Anselm College Department of Finance, University of Vienna Centre for Responsible Banking & Finance, University of St. Andrews Location: Wentworth-by-the-Sea, NH (USA) Date: 2.–3.12.2022 Deadline: 15.9.2022 __ The Saint Anselm College Center for Ethics in Society, in cooperation with the Department of Finance—University of Vienna and the University of St. Andrews Centre for Responsible Banking & Finance, announces a call for proposals for a conference on the economics, ethics, and governance of global commerce. We have seen significant economic and political shifts in the last 2+ years with both the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war continuing to change the global economic and political order. This time of disruption and shifting economic power is an opportunity to reassess debates about, international trade, capital flows and global economic governance. This interdisciplinary conference brings together ethicists, economists, political scientists, international relations scholars, policy experts, and business leaders to examine the political and economic impact of the events of the last two years. Our central goal is to discuss how economic cooperation, international trade and investment can be conducted more ethically, as we move from crisis to a new global order. Suggested topics or questions that a proposal could address include: International Commerce: - How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected trade and global supply chains? - What has the Russia-Ukraine conflict revealed about the vulnerability of the global economy (e.g. dependence on oil and natural gas)? - What changes ought to be made in light of the Russia-Ukraine war (e.g. redristribution of oil and natural gas flows)? - Who is benefiting economically from trade in this period of war? - Economic and trade rebalancing - The rise of China and other emerging countries are shifting economic activity. How will this affect trade and commerce? - Acceleration of new technologies - New and disruptive technologies are advancing faster than the ability to manage and harness them. Digital platforms and automation are affecting production, trade, and workstyles: do they necessitate new business models/frameworks? - Uncertainty - Political and market instability create economic hardship, nationalism, and extremism, increasing risk and uncertainty. What are the effects on international trade and commerce? - Demographic Shifts - Emerging and developing economies have younger populations than developed economies. How will these demographic shifts change trade? - Do the benefits of portfolio liberalization, in terms of financial deepening, counteract its systemic risks? - What are the “externalities” of trade or foreign direct investment for democracy, human rights, civil peace, and state autonomy? - How has the global low interest rate environment affected the viability of exchange rate management? - How will rising interest rates affect global trade? - How will big-data affect decision making about trade policy? Ethics: - Are economic sanctions an ethical way to protest belligerent countries in military conflicts? - What ethical norms ought to govern trading with aggressors in a war? - What are the ethical ramifications of trading weapons? What are the proper limits in trading weapons to countries engaged in war? - Are economic sanctions an ethical way to protest belligerent countries in military conflicts? - Are nations right to prioritize their own interests in the global economy, whether in trade or vaccine distribution? - Is globalization beneficial or detrimental to political communities? - What are the rights and responsibilities of economic actors engaging in the global economy? - Does free trade demand the free movement of peoples? - Do participants in international trade have a responsibility to ensure a more equitable distribution of benefits? - Should there be a shared responsibility to ensure that trading practices enable sustainable development and the recognition of human rights? - What responsibilities do multinational firms have to the communities where they do business? - Is offshoring morally problematic? Is offshoring necessarily part of a free trade system? - Should nations ensure that they produce essential goods within their own borders? - Are economic sanctions against nations and/or individual citizens ethically problematic? What are some ethical guidelines that should govern state actors when imposing sanctions? Global Governance: - What changes need to be made to global governance systems in light of the Russia-Ukraine war? - What are the social and political challenges to
InterPhil: PUB: The Politics of Knowledge and Cognition
__ Call for Publications Theme: The Politics of Knowledge and Cognition Subtitle: African Perspectives Publication: Edited Volume Deadline: 30.11.2022 __ A flourishing area in applied epistemology today is the exploration of the intersection between epistemology and politics. Emerging from this discourse in recent years is the field of political epistemology which examines and analyses the bearing and impact of the analytic and conceptual tools and theories of epistemology on political theory, practice, and philosophy. Michael Hannon and Jeroen de Ridder’s The Routledge Handbook of Political Epistemology (2021), Elizabeth Edenberg and Michael Hannon’s Political Epistemology (2021), and Pietro Daniel Omodeo’s Political Epistemology: The Problem of Ideology in Science Studies (2019) are examples of key publications in this field. However, less attention has been paid to a study and discourse of the reverse relationship of the intersection of politics and epistemology: examining analyzing the bearing that political theories, philosophies, and practices in different horizons and places have on the processes and theories of knowing and cognizing. More so, the publications mentioned above do not touch at all on the African experience and perspectives of the intersection between epistemology and politics, neither in the sense in which it explores such a relationship or intersection nor in the reverse sense just mentioned. The Politics of Knowledge and Cognition: African Perspectives aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the impact of African political experiences both lived and historical, on knowledge and cognition processes in African places. It aims to provide thought-provoking essays on the historical, hermeneutical, phenomenological, and broadly speaking, philosophical perspectives on how power, violence, resource control, and other political factors in precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial periods have persistently impacted the knowing and cognizing processes in African communities. It also examines the implications of this for knowledge discovery and retrieval, and for theorizing decolonial approaches to development, episteme and existence. We are therefore inviting original and well-written chapters on these and related thematic areas: - Conceptualising the politics of knowledge and cognition - African epistemology - The politics of knowledge production - Epistemic injustice - Knowledge and decolonization - The politics of epistemic decolonization - Post-colonialism, politics, and misinformation - Social media and the hermeneutics of knowledge in Africa - Historicizing the politics of knowledge: pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial realities - Political institutions and epistemic responsibilities - African politics and virtue epistemology - The politics and epistemology of ignorance - Noocracy, gerontocracy, and epistocracy - The epistemology of deliberative democracy - The politics of African feminist epistemology - The politics and epistemology of human rights and justice - The politics and epistemology of conspiracy - Trust and political participation - Knowledge and propaganda - The epistemology of protest, mass movements and populism Notes for Contributors Submission of chapters on any of these and related areas are invited. At this stage, only abstracts or chapter proposals should be submitted. The abstract should contain the title of the proposed chapter, the author’s names and affiliation, and email address, and a brief summary of the proposed contents of the chapter no more than 250 words. The abstract should be sent, on or before November 30, 2022, to: polkafr...@gmail.com Decision on acceptance/rejection of submitted abstracts will be made no later than December 30, 2022. Authors of accepted abstracts will receive further information on important deadlines. Rest assured, there will be adequate time given to develop complete chapters. Editors Prof Isaac E.
