Committed to the ethics of international relations, the group International Relations for the Common Good (IR4CG) offers a space for the colloquium and the discussion with a proposal of dialogue that invites to ethical reflection as a response to the most current and valid questions of global profile on an academic basis - legal, political, economic, historical - of rigor. The group aspires to a greater and better ethical study of the dynamics that drive international relations such as the relations of conflict, cooperation, skill and coexistence between states and other global non-state actors. IR4CG adopts the principle of the common good - as taught by the social doctrine of the Church - as a philosophical horizon that allows the student to give an ethical perspective to the international internship . The group conceives humanity as a global community and understands that each person in that global community must reach "the expeditious development and plenary session of the Executive Council of his or her own perfection"(Mater et Magistra, [65]). In this way, IR4CG aims to provide the student of International Relations with an analytical understanding of "the set of conditions of social life that make it possible for associations and each of their members to achieve their own perfection more plenary session of the Executive Council and more easily"(Gadium et spes [26]), through the ethical governance of the global.
IR4CG aims to motivate conversations on topics of international and, especially, European interest in a cordial and relaxed, accessible and open environment, through the free, orderly and respectful exchange of views and perspectives, and thus encourage the training and expression of one's own opinion, morally justified within the university rigor. The goal is twofold: on the one hand, promote critical and transcendent thinking about global challenges and opportunities and, on the other hand, promote the discernment of the common good in the internship of international relations.
IR4CG invites the university community as a whole, especially those with an interest in learning more about the world and the circumstances that surround them at the European Community level and, above all, with a willingness to participate and actively learn from others.
IR4CG is part of the Center for Global Affairs and Strategic Studies of the University of Navarra.
