International Colloquium on Global Ethics of Compromise

This conference wishes to expand compromise understanding in its transnational dimension, little addressed by present studies, in order to test the relevance of a cultural and global approach to compromise.What are the normative assumptions and solutions proposed to develop morally right or wrong compromise typologies?Can we develop a universal ethics of compromise or does compromise vary depending on the socio-cultural history of a country ? To what extent is culture relevant in shaping types and norms of compromise?This symposium examines theoretical issues and practices associated with compromise by adopting a global perspective.To do so, it will bring together the contributions of European, American and Asian researchers around the following three areas:1) Compromise Standards2) Cultures of Compromise3) Global Governance and Compromise
