Research

My research project focuses on the intersection between environmental ethics and the ethics of war. I examinate the implications of ethical-environmental considerations to the Just War framework. I am interested in exploring the ethical relationship between humans beings and the non-human environment in the context of war and armed conflict. For this purpose, I re-examine, re-evaluate, and reformulate Just War Theory in light of radical, non-anthropocentric theories of environmental ethics, namely biocentrism and ecocentrism.
