“…Taken more broadly, my empirical findings challenge the common EU policy-maker narrative that trade and development policy are driven by distinct imperatives or that the EU is a uniquely 'normative power' (see Manners 2008). Rather, I have shown that the political economic forces shaping trade policies in other entities play an important role in the EU as well, adding to a literature which seeks to situate the study of EU external economic diplomacy within the wider political economy of trade (which has long been attuned to 'reciprocity' as a tool for serving exporters and offsetting protectionist pressures).…”

“…As a result, one of the broader contributions of this article is to challenge the idea of a uniquely 'normative power Europe' intent on exporting its progressive values and which acts in a development-friendly fashion (Manners 2008). Indeed, and echoing the sentiments of this literature, policy-makers have been keen to stress the differences between supposedly 'developmental' and 'commercial' trade policy-making, where agreements of the former type (e.g.…”

“…Habermas and Derrida, 2006), the distinctiveness of a European public sphere offers hope for a form of world citizenship that can be extended outwards to subsume within it the unilateralism and belligerency of the United States (see also Fraser, 2005). Indeed, the progressive, cosmopolitan values of the European public sphere could inform the composition of an EU foreign policy that exercises a transformative "normative power" eschewing the poles of a realist proto-superpower and an idealist "EUtopia" in order to promote the conditions necessary for the emergence of world citizenship (Rosecrance, 1998;Manners, 2008;Dunne, 2008). And such views are not merely academic, but evident amongst the wider European foreign policy intelligentsia (e.g.…”

It is no exaggeration to say that sovereignty is the foundation both of International Relations (IR) as a field of enquiry and of international politics as an "actual existing" field of practice. Whether seen as the archetypal IR101 topic or in debates about the rights and wrongs of humanitarian intervention, the capacity of international organisations to exert control over significant spheres of international politics, or in discussions about the legitimacy of bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), sovereignty appears as the central referent point of international politics. Over recent years, however, there has been considerable debate over both the substantive content ("fact") and normative framing ("value") of sovereignty. The former comes about as a result of a series of political, economic and security challenges which see states as assuming a role as "one-amongst-many" in an increasingly complex international topography; the latter stems from concerns about whether national states form the optimal site for the articulation of authority claims. This forum engages with both of these debates, focusing on how they relate to understandings of the emergence, development and possible emasculation of sovereignty in the contemporary world. In the introduction to the forum, we outline the ways in which scholars have contested the emergence of the sovereign state and examine the ethical issues surrounding the normative value of this form of rule. In the process, we lay out the ways in which the papers which make up this forum make uncomfortable, if important, contributions to the debate about the fact and value -or "is" and "ought" -of sovereignty in contemporary world politics. It is no exaggeration to say that sovereignty is the foundation both of International Relations (IR) as a field of enquiry and of international politics as an "actual existing" field of practice. For the former, sovereignty is the archetypal IR101 topic. Students entering the subject are informed that sovereignty emerged in Europe sometime around the mid seventeenth century before being exported to the rest of the world, often by force of arms, over the next few centuries. There may be disagreement over sovereignty's precise point of origin (cf. Keywords Sovereignty, historical sociology, political theory, international politics Contact details

“…Virtue ethics is defined as the ethics that emphasises the virtues, or moral character, of an individual's actions [15]. It focuses more on the character of the individual or the character's traits that guide the individual to his or her actions.…”

Necessity for ethics in social engineering research

Social engineering is deeply entrenched in the fields of both computer science and social psychology. Knowledge is required in both these disciplines to perform social engineering based research. Several ethical concerns and requirements need to be taken into account when social engineering research is conducted to ensure that harm does not befall those who participate in such research. These concerns and requirements have not yet been formalised and most researchers are unaware of the ethical concerns involved in social engineering research. This paper identifies a number of concerns regarding social engineering in public communication, penetration testing and social engineering research. It also discusses the identified concerns with regard to three different normative ethics approaches (virtue ethics, utilitarianism and deontology) and provides their corresponding ethical perspectives as well as practical examples of where these formalised ethical concerns for social engineering research can be beneficial.
