This issue of our journal went to press before the terrorist attacks of
September 11. Nonetheless it raises relevant questions:
The notion of "international community": can it respond to crises?
The idea of multiple allegiances, including participation in transnational
institutions.
The perils of global economic inequality.
In addition, this issue explores:
The moral obligation to assist people facing the scourge of HIV/AIDS.
Contradictions in positions taken by U.S. environmentalists on global
warming.

Assigning Responsibilities to Institutional Moral Agents: The Case of States and Quasi-States [Abstract]
- 12/04/01
To claim that institutions can act as relevant moral agents in international relations, we must consider the disparate circumstances within which states—those that exercise positive sovereignty and those that are sovereign only in name—are expected to act.

Moral Agency and International Society [Abstract]
- 12/04/01
Some have argued that the UN or the Security Council can exercise agency on behalf of IS, but in view of the "underinstitutionalization" of IS in the UN, groups of states may authorize themselves to act on the behalf of IS as "coalitions of the willing."

Place-Based Environmentalism and Global Warming: Conceptual Contradictions of American Environmentalism [Full Text]

The Global Covenant: Human Conduct in a World of States, Robert H. Jackson [Full Text]

War Stories: The Search for a Usable Past in the Federal Republic of Germany, Robert G. Moeller [Full Text]
- 11/19/01
