Micro-credential Ethics and Globalisation

Who wins and who loses in our globalising world?

This microcredential gives you in-depth insight into the normative constitution of international politics and its enduring ethical dilemmas as well as into the question of who wins and who loses – politically and economically – in our globalising world.
