Ethical Norms in International Relations: A Larger Theoretical Mapping

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to map out the ways in which ethics (moral philosophy) and International Relations (IR) are converged around certain norms in the literature. Besides comprising communitarian and cosmopolitan norms and values in Normative IR Theory (Normative Theory) in which the two academic disciplines are congregated, this mapping tries to display that certain norms in some critical theories has tangible ethical meanings as well. Thus, it can be claimed that ethics in IR has in fact larger intellectual and theoretical dimensions. Accordingly, “community/state” which is one of the ethical norms and driving force of political acts and attitudes in Normative Theory put forward by communitarianism, and the other one which is “universal right” in cosmopolitanism are discussed at first. Then, the “class” norm of Marxism, the “race” norm of Postcolonialism, the “gender” norm of Feminism and the “environment” norm of Green Theory which are asserted as the determiners of policies and actions, are treated within the context of ethics. In conclusion, it is exhibited that international ethical studies cannot be bounded with Normative Theory.
