Ethics & International Affairs, a refereed quarterly publication of Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, is pleased to invite submissions for upcoming issues.
The journal bridges the gap between theory and practice by publishing original essays that integrate rigorous thinking about principles of ethics and justice into discussions of practical issues related to current policy developments, global institutional arrangements, and the conduct of important international actors.
The journal welcomes submissions related to the major themes of Carnegie Council's work: Ethics, War, and Peace, Global Social Justice, and Religion in Politics.
In 2012 we are particularly seeking submissions that address the following topics from a variety of theoretical perspectives:
