Responsibility in the Global Agrifood System as an Important Aspect of Responsibility in World Politics
ZIN spokesperson Prof. Doris Fuchs and ZIN junior scholar Tobias Gumbert will take part in the contributors’ workshop "IRresponsibility in World Politics" in Muenster on May 28 and 29 , where they present a contribution on responsibility in the global agrifood system.
The contributors’ workshop, hosted by Prof. Antje Vetterlein (Professor of Global Governance at the University of Muenster), aims at the preparation of the handbook "Responsibility in International Relations Theory", which shall serve as basic work on the interdisciplinary multi-policy topic "Responsibility in Global Politics". During the workshop, Prof. Doris Fuchs and her colleague Tobias Gumbert present a paper entitled "Moral Geographies of Responsibility in the Global Agrifood System". In the context of this contribution, they analyse how forms of responsible agey are established in certain spatial contexts through a reference to geographical orders with morally appropriate behaviours (the so-called "moral geographies of responsibility") in the global agrifood system.
