Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: The workshop is designed for regular students and international exchange students from the social sciences and neighboring disciplines with an interest in Political Theory. It consists of one lecture session on Wednesday, 5 July from 18:15 to 19:45 during the CRiSS lecture, and a workshop session on Friday, 7 July from 10:00 to 16:00.
Inhalt: This workshop gives students an insight into Just War Theory and enables them to discuss questions such as "Should Ukraine accept it cannot win and surrender as a matter of moral duty?", "Do Russian soldiers have an obligation to not fight in an illegal war?" or "What are the moral arguments for and against Western aid to Ukraine?". Students will think about legal and political issues that are urgent to them when they think about the war in Ukraine. Furthermore, they get a lecture in Just war theory and discuss current issues on that basis: Ukraine War, torture of terrorists and Real-world applications such as GITMO. Additionally, participants are invited to bring their own topic-related questions for discussion.
Zusätzliche Informationen: This course is held by Professor Peter Sutch (Professor Peter Sutch - People - Cardiff University) and Dr Peri Roberts (Dr Peri Roberts - People - Cardiff University) from the School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University.
