Middle Range and Embedded Ethics Issues: Connecting Empirical Work and Normative Debates

Abstract

In this panel, presenters will address the basic Kantian problem of the interpenetration of ideas of the good with what happens in the world and what this interpenetration means for how we study international practice and think about questions of global justice. In particular, the panel will speak to the need to pursue normative and empirical lines of inquiry together rather than as analytically distinct ways of approaching international problems and will provide methods and insights as to how such research might be carried forward.
