THE IMPASSES OF THE THEORIES OF INTERNATIONAL ETHICS: RATIONALITY, IDENTITY AND UNIVERSALIZABILITY

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to show that moral claims of communitarianism and cosmopolitanism, which establish the relationship between international politics and ethics on consequentialist and deontological foundations, have impasses. It is claimed that those theories discussed within poststructural approach in this paper, imply exclusion or assimilation. Accordingly, in the context of poststructuralism’s uncovering performative feature of the subjectivity through “unsettling of the subject”, by what kind of rationality, identities in communitarianism and cosmopolitanism is built and their universalizability are elaborated. Zygmunt Bauman’s understanding of ethics, embracing anti-foundational ideas and defined by him as durable responsibility towards other, is gathered with theories of international ethics in a dialogical format, so the impasses of the theories are addressed within the themes of rationality, identity and universalizability.
