Abstract

This study aims to show that moral claims of communitarianism and cosmopolitanism, which establish the relationship between international politics and ethics on consequentialist and deontological foundations, have impasses. It is claimed that those theories discussed within poststructural approach in this paper, implyexclusion or assimilation.

Zygmunt Bauman’s understanding ofethics, embracing anti-foundational ideas and defined by him as durable responsibility towards other, is gathered with theories of international ethics in a dialogical format, so the impasses of the theories are addressed within the themes of rationality, identity and universalizability.

Özet

Bu çalışma, uluslararası siyaset ve etik ilişkisini sonuççu ve deontolojik temeller üzerinden kuran toplulukçuluk ve kozmopolitanizmin ahlaki iddialarının açmazlara sahip olduğunu göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Postyapısalcı bir yaklaşımla ele alınan bu teorilerin, dışlama veya aynılaştırmayı ifade eden açmazlarınınolduğu iddia edilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, makalede ,postyapısalcı yaklaşımın üzerinde durduğu “failin yerinden edilerek” edimsel niteliğinin ortaya çıkarılmasıbağlamında, toplulukçuluk ve kozmopolitanizmde kimliklerin nasıl bir rasyonalite anlayışıtarafından kurulduğu ve evrenselleştirilebilirlikleri ortaya konulmaktadır. Zygmunt Bauman’ın temel-karşıtı fikirlerini içeren, ötekine karşısağlam sorumluluk olarak tanımladığıetikanlayışı, uluslararasıetik teorilerle diyalojik bir formatta bir araya getirilerek, teorilerin açmazlarırasyonalite, kimlik ve evrenselleştirilebilirlik temaları etrafında tartışılmaktadır.
