At a time when globalization has side-lined many of the
traditional, state-based addressees of legal accountability, it is
not clear yet how blame is allocated and contested in the new,
highly differentiated, multi-actor governance arrangements of the
global economy and world society. Moral Agency and the Politics of
Responsibility investigates how actors in complex governance
arrangements assign responsibilities to order the world and
negotiate who is responsible for what and how. The book asks how
moral duties can be defined beyond the territorial and legal
confines of the nation-state; and how obligations and
accountability mechanisms for a post-national world, in which
responsibility remains vague, ambiguous and contested, can be
established. Using an empirical as well as a theoretical
perspective, the book explores ontological framings of complexity
emphasizing emergence and non-linearity, which challenge classic
liberal notions of responsibility and moral agency based on the
autonomous subject. Moral Agency and the Politics of Responsibility
is perfect for scholars from International Relations, Politics,
Philosophy and Political Economy with an interest in the topical
and increasingly popular topics of moral agency and complexity.
