Research project: Pandemic Agency and Justice: A Socio-Political Analysis of the Global COVID-19 Pandemic
Social or global crises provide a unique opportunity to examine the “fit” of theory and reality. The purpose in this project is to develop a normative framework that reconciles the actions of agents (global, national, community and individual) during the COVID pandemic, with prevailing social and global justice theories. This two-pronged assessment – examining responses to the pandemic through the lens of theory, and examining dominant theories through the lens of actions – could provide a means to assess the adequacy of (or lack thereof), of extant social and global justice theories.

Die neuen Warlords. Gewaltdynamiken einhegen / Friedensgutachten 2026

Book Presentation

Die imperialistische Großmachtpolitik ändert die Vorzeichen von Krieg, Frieden und Sicherheit. Staaten agieren zunehmend wie Warlords und setzen Krieg als Mittel der Politik ein. Übergänge von Gewaltkonflikten zu Frieden werden als „Deals“ behandelt, Mittelmächte treten mit neuem Selbstbewusstsein, aber ambivalentem Kurs auf, und technologische Innovation verändert Kriege und erschwert die Regulierung. Zugleich befindet sich die internationale Kooperation in der Friedenssicherung in ihrer schwersten Krise. Das Friedensgutachten 2026 analysiert Optionen, dennoch Frieden zu fördern.
