Celebrating 40 Volumes of Ethics & International Affairs
"What does ethics have to do with international affairs?” It is the somewhat incredulous attitude behind this question that the journal’s founding editor, Robert J. Myers, set out to counter when Ethics & International Affairs was launched in 1987. The answer to the question, quite simply, is that ethics has everything to do with international affairs. All policy decisions are made within value systems both personal and structural.
Over the following decades, the journal cultivated a community of authors intent on answering Myers’s call, and the archives of EIA are now home to a trove of content examining such topics as the ethics of humanitarian intervention, the responsibility to protect, climate change, the war on terror, and the rise of drone warfare, to name but a few.
