the philosophical activism project 'The Possibility of Global Governance'

'The Possibility of Global Governance’ is a joint research project of The PhɅAct Collective and the researchers of The Academia and deals with the global ethics of sustainable development governance. It does however not initially focus on the ethical implications of the global complex problems the world is facing today. Rather the emphasis is on the ethics related to the way we make sense of them in knowledge generation and decision making. From this perspective, the vantage point of the research is that the quality of governance essentially depends on the quality of the working of ‘the knowledge-policy interface’, and that this ‘quality’ concerns specific ethics with regard to the generation and metamorphosis of knowledge prior to and in governance, and consequently with regard to the organisation of governance itself.
