What is justice? According to which criteria do we judge whether something is just or unjust? What different concepts of justice are there? Which insights can the humanities, behavioural and social sciences contribute to the debate about justice?
This year, PRIF's annual conference discusses the different notions and theories of justice. Internationally renowned natural and social scientists will present their perspectives on justice during two panels.
Primatologist and behavioural scientist Professor Frans de Waal (Emory University Atlanta) and neurobiologist Professor Joachim Bauer (University of Freiburg) will offer insights on the role of justice from a natural scientific perspective. Professor Klaus Günther (Cluster of Excellence “The Formation of Normative Orders” at Frankfurt University) will comment on their presentations.
Panel II will focus on the social sciences: Sociologist Professor Stefan Liebig (University of Bielefeld) and political scientist Professor Cecilia Albin (Uppsala University, Department of Peace and Conflict Research) will introduce results of empirical work on justice on social and political behavior, which will be commented on by Professor Nicole Deitelhoff (PRIF Research Group “Contested Normativity: Norm Conflicts in Global Governance”). In his summary, PRIF’s executive director Professor Harald Müller and Professor Richard Ned Lebow (King‘s College, London) will reflect on the ideas presented. What conclusions can be drawn for peace research and PRIF’s research program “Just Peace Governance”?
The conference will be held in English.

Program of PRIF's Annual Conference 2013 You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
