The Center for Global Ethics and Politics is a network for research, colloquia, and curricular development on key issues of contemporary life including globalization and justice, human rights, cosmopolitan democracy, and intercultural perspectives on ethics. We seek to clarify the requirements of global justice and human rights, and to discern possible ways of strengthening the institutions of global governance and transnational forms of democracy and solidarity. A substantial component of our work in the organization and presentation of this colloquium series, which brings together scholars, researchers, and practitioners to address these challenging issues. The Center is affiliated with the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at The Graduate Center, CUNY
