  • Dear Students!

    My name is Aigul Adibayeva and I am so happy to greet you in my online course Ethics in International Affairs!

    Ethics in International Affairs is a course witch is presenting students a normative approach centered on ethics for studying international affairs. The main purpose of this course is to prepare students to have a critical perspective on international politics and institutions and to be able to evaluate the moral dilemmas that political leaders, activists and citizens have to face in a globalized world.

    The online format of learning is not easy, but we will organize the learning process in a convenient and informative manner. All of us will be working hard, but I am sure you will learn a lot, and together we will do our best to achieve the goals of our course.
