Klimaethik – Ein Reader

Book lɔ:ntʃ

What do we want? Climate Justice! In the context of the ongoing climate protests, the demand for climate justice is increasingly becoming a fundamental demand of an entire generation. This raises complex and pressing questions: How exactly are the climate crisis and various structures of marginalization connected? Who is responsible for tackling this crisis? What do we owe future generations? The international debate, including feminist and indigenous discourses, offers multifaceted approaches to these questions, including by Henry Shue, Stephen M. Gardiner, Anil Agarwal and Sunita Narain, Derek Parfit and Catriona McKinnon, which this volume makes accessible – for the most part for the first time in German.

Das Prinzip Donald Trump und die Verrohung der Welt

Panel Discussion, Lecture

Ein neuer Politikstil macht international Karriere. Er ist gekennzeichnet von Vulgarität, Verrohung und erklärter Rechtsfeindschaft. Machtinteressen werden nicht mehr juristisch bemäntelt. Stattdessen wird das angebliche Recht des Stärkeren zur Staatsdoktrin gemacht – innenpolitisch wie außenpolitisch. Treibende Kraft hinter dieser Verrohung der politischen Sitten ist ein US-Präsident, der nicht nur die amerikanische Gesellschaft und Kultur, sondern auch die globale Ordnung nach seinen Vorstellungen und Interessen umgestaltet. Die Römerberggespräche wollen diesen Politikstil verstehen.
