Helen Frowe, professor of philosophy at Stockholm College and director of the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace, has been named one of many 2024 Wallenberg Scholars by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Basis.
The scholarship features a $1.7 million grant for her venture on the Ethics of Deterrence.
Right here’s an outline of the venture:
Regardless of its central function in worldwide affairs (and, certainly, home politics), deterrence stays surprisingly under-theorised within the ethics of struggle and in ethical and political philosophy extra broadly. For instance, though deterrence is usually cited as a justification for struggle in political debates, this matter is basically uncared for within the substantial physique of labor produced on the ethics of struggle within the final twenty years. Whereas there are important our bodies of labor on deterrent punishment and nuclear deterrence, these appear ill-suited to evaluating the complete vary of home and worldwide deterrent mechanisms, which span from hostile immigration insurance policies to waging struggle. This venture goals to develop a broad, unified philosophical account of the ethics of deterrence that may make clear quite a few ethical and political points.
The Wallenberg Students grant program “was carried out as a result of researchers want long-term funding with out the distraction of strain to safe exterior grants with a view to perform world-class analysis.” It offers 5 years of funding.
