SOLutions In Schools (Solis)
In the UK, it is reported that one in five children have a probable mental health disorder. Schools are key environments for promoting mental wellbeing; however, many school staff lack training in supporting student wellbeing. Furthermore, classroom behaviour when students are not behaving as expected is challenging for staff to understand and manage. A focus on discipline impacts negatively on students ’ school experiences, learning and wellbein…
Integrating professional identities
The importance of child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) collaborating with other agencies is of paramount concern for children with complex difficulties, including children in care. However, there is a lack of research exploring the role of child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapists in multi-disciplinary and multi-agency work surrounding these children. Aims: to develop a theory of how child and adolescent psychoanalytic p…
The ethics and politics of care in times of crises
nema
Introduction
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book presents a critical analysis of both commonplace assumptions and dominant modes of reasoning about ethics in international relations. It attempts to work towards a new understanding of the nature and purposes of moral enquiry in the context of global social relations. The book then sets out in more detail the argument for a feminis…
Traditions of International Ethics
This chapter looks at the dominant traditions in international ethics and at how an adherence to these traditions of ethical reasoning has produced a narrow and limited debate. It explores the defining principles and historical development of liberal contractarianism and rights-based ethics. The chapter also explores the opposition between cosmopolitan and communitarian approaches to normative international relations theory. It also discusses the…
The Ethics of Care
This chapter explores the increasingly prolific work in moral and political philosophy which has challenged the traditional focus on autonomous, abstract, rational agent and on &s;justice&s; as the first virtue of society. It examines the work of feminist theorists who have developed what is known as &s;the ethics of care&s;. The chapter addresses three central controversies surrounding care. First, the debate over alleged &s;essentialism&s; of m…
Global Social Relations and Exclusion
This chapter elucidates the relevance of a social relations approach to dismantling exclusionary practices on a global scale to the construction of a global ethics of care. It explores the problems of exclusionary attitudes and practices and what Martha Minow describes as the &s;dilemma of difference&s;. The chapter addresses approaches to inclusion and exclusion in contemporary international relations theory. Specifically, it explores the Haberm…
Ethical Reasoning and the Global Context of Care
This chapter sets out in more detail the argument for a feminist international ethics based on the idea of a critical ethics of care. It discusses the nature and purpose of feminist theory and, specifically, feminist ethics. The ethics of care may seem to offer no criteria for judging the relative validity of those moral claims—precisely what moral theories which rely on principles do provide. The chapter explores the development of the ethics of…
Globalization, Moral Relations, and the Ethics of Care
This chapter explores the wider structural and institutional context of moral relations on a global scale, focusing on arguments from international relations theorists about globalization and the international system. It explores the actual conditions for moral relations in the global context and, specifically, for the development of a global ethics of care. The chapter examines the responses to arguments about globalization from normative theori…
A Critical Ethics of Care in the Context of International Relations
This chapter addresses what are often referred to as ethical issues in international relations. It focuses on the problem of &s;humanitarian intervention&s;, and how it has been—and might continue to be—explored in the context of international ethics. The chapter discusses the dominant views on the central &s;issues&s; in international ethics, analyzing critically the ways in which these issues have been explored. Specifically, it focuses on the …
Globalizing Care
This book broadens the scope of thinking about ethics in global social relations, criticizing the 'leading traditions' in international ethics, and exploring the ways in which some strands of feminist moral philosophy may offer an alternative perspective to view ethics in international relations.
International relations theory
This chapter addresses some of Mervyn Frost's claims as part of a general attempt to survey the current role and place of ethics and moral theorizing in international relations (IR) theory, focusing specifically on the period since the publication of Frost's essay to the present day. It argues that there have been significant developments in the field which speak directly both to the role and significance of positivism and to questions of moral j…
Care ethics and International Relations
This article explores recent scholarship in the area of care ethics and International Relations. The article begins by tracing the journey of care ethics into the realm of the international or ‘the global’, and then moves on to elaborate on recent scholarship in the area of care ethics in International Relations. Through a discussion of three key areas – violence and conflict, the body, and the ‘pluriverse’ – I argue that feminist care ethics has…

Care ethics, political theory, and the future of feminism
This chapter explores the role and future of feminist care ethics in the context of contemporary feminist theory and practices. It draws links between the claims of feminist theorists about the demise of feminism and the rise of discourses of individual empowerment, choice, competition and ambition within development strategies, practices of gender mainstreaming, and popular Western feminism. It suggests that a feminist ethic of care—despite its …
Tackling the problem of teenage pregnancy in looked‐after children
Teenage pregnancy is associated with adverse health and social outcomes, even after adjusting for prior disadvantage, and is recognized as a major public health issue. Rates of teenage pregnancy in the UK are among the highest in E urope. Interventions introduced in the past decade to address the problem, such as improved sex and relationships education in schools, have been accompanied by a fall in teenage pregnancy rates in the UK . However, th…
Discourses of motherhood and women’s health
Using the debate surrounding the Canadian government’s 2008 Muskoka Initiative on Maternal, Newborn and Child Health as a central example, this article considers the construction of women and women’s health in global health policy. Specifically, it considers the contributions of Sara Ruddick’s philosophy to the task of unravelling the ethical and political meanings of ‘motherhood’, and the relationship between maternal thinking and feminist polit…
Global care ethics
This article defends an ethics of care approach to global justice, which begins with an empirically informed account of injustices resulting from the workings and effects of contemporary neo-liberalism and hegemonic masculinities. Dominant distributive approaches to global justice see the unequal distribution of resources or ‘primary goods’ as the basic source of injustice. Crucially, however, most of these liberal theories do not challenge the b…
Feminist Ethics and Social Policy
As national borders become more permeable, women are increasingly on the move, travelling from poor to rich countries to take up jobs as care workers. The struggle to maintain a healthy work/care balance in Western countries is creating a care deficit in the developing world. Feminist Ethics and Social Policy links ethics to the social politics of care by revealing the implications of the feminization of migrant labour and the shortcomings of soc…
Stop Talking and Listen
This article seeks to extend feminist critiques of Habermasian discourse ethics in International Relations by engaging with the feminist ethics of care. Using the work of Andrew Linklater as a starting point, it argues that neither the existing critiques nor the responses have adequately addressed the key features of care ethics. The article critiques the idea of ethics as dialogue among ‘human beings as equals’ through an elaboration of several …
After Liberalism in World Politics? Towards an International Political Theory of Care
This paper explores the potential for an international political theory of care as an alternative to liberalism in the context of contemporary global politics. It argues that relationality and interdependence, and the responsibilities for and practices of care that arise therewith, are fundamental aspects of moral life and sites of political contestation that have been systematically denied and obfuscated under liberalism. A political theory of c…
Bridging the Real and the Ideal in International Ethics
Richard Price's new volume, Moral Limit and Possibility in World Politics, is the latest contribution to what Steve Smith called, in 1992, the “resurgence” of normative theorizing in International Relations (Smith 1992). Over a decade and a half later, that resurgence is stronger than ever, as IR scholars from an array of different theoretical and methodological stripes continue to weigh in on “ethics” and “ethical issues” in world politics. This…

Globalizing Care
The languages of rights and liberalism are probably the most frequently used in contemporary international politics. The language of rights, in particular, has become predominant. . . . The contractarian vocabulary - of agreement, reciprocity, contractual obligation, and especially fairness - is widely used in popular debate on international issues, particularly when the issues are economic ones

Care, gender and global social justice
This article develops an approach to ethical globalization based on a feminist, political ethic of care; this is achieved, in part, through a comparison with, and critique of, Thomas Pogge's World Poverty and Human Rights. In his book, Pogge makes the valid and important argument that the global economic order is currently organized such that developed countries have a huge advantage in terms of power and expertise, and that decisions are reached…

Beyond labour rights
The protection of workers worldwide is most often sought through reference to the International Labour Organization's ‘core’ labour standards. These rights are, in themselves, of great importance; that said, however, the blanket approach with respect to workers that results from the over-reliance on rights is gender-blind, and incapable of integrating the crucial normative dynamics of relational power, collective responsibility and mutual depende…

Human rights and the global politics of resistance
Talk of human rights is, currently, nearly as ubiquitous as talk of globalisation. While globalisation has been described as ‘the most over used and under specified term in the international policy sciences since the end of the Cold War’, the same could reasonably be said of ‘human rights’. Human rights are a product of the immediate aftermath of World War II, and thus they developed, in their contemporary form, in the context of the Cold War. Th…

Human Rights in the ‘War on Terror
Human Rights in the ‘War on Terror’, Richard Ashby Wilson, ed., Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005, pp. xv, 347.Given this book's title, I assumed that it would consist mainly of elaborations of already over-rehearsed debates about the “trade-offs” between “liberty” and “security.” And while it does include plenty of this, several chapters in this volume offer thoughtful, nuanced analyses which challenge the dichotomous rhetoric of the d…
NGOs and the Advancement of Economic and Social Rights
This article explores controversies surrounding economic and social rights in the context of recent moves by non-governmental organizations, notably Amnesty International, to strengthen their commitment to these 'second-generation' rights. Although this move is long overdue, particularly in an era of increasing economic polarization due to globalization, the article argues that these efforts will fail if we simply attempt to 'add' economic and so…
