Use of Broadly-Accepted Norms in Achieving International Cooperation

 

The challenge of achieving international cooperation in the modern world at times seems overwhelming. Issues such as environmental protection, terrorism, cybercrime and the spread of disease no longer know national boundaries or local solutions. This program will explore whether ideas about the relevance of norms in human conduct -  often seen as complementary to law in the functioning of smaller communities -  can apply more widely as well. It will ask whether there are broadly-accepted norms that transcend religious, cultural and historic barriers, what those norms might be, and what kind of a world order could be built upon them.
