About
Much of my current research evolves around the ideas of collective agency and collective moral duties.
I am interested in finding out which kinds collective moral duties there are and which groups can hold such duties.
So far, I think that some groups can be moral agents and hold moral duties. (See article on moral obligations of states). Also it seems to me that individuals can hold duties jointly, without forming a structured or organized group and without being an agent in that sense.
I am furthermore interested in what kinds of joint moral duties arise from moral problems of global dimensions such as climate change and world poverty.
I am also working in the area of political violence ethics, in particular the moral status of terrorism and other non-state political violence. One of the central claims of my research is that terrorism is - in principle - not morally worse than war and that it can - in principle - be morally justifiable. I have a few articles on these topics and my book 'Terrorism. A Philsophical Inquiry' is forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan in 2012.
