Grounding the legitimacy of international institutions in personal and collective autonomy? Human rights, state consent and alternative standards

Date: 29 - 30 June 2023
Time: 10:00-20:00

Place: The Institute for Futures Studies, Holländargatan 13, Stockholm

International institutions make claims to authority that can clash with both personal and collective autonomy. At the same time, they are essential to solve collective action problems related to global challenges such as climate change and poverty. This workshop critically assess accounts of personal and collective autonomy, and explores how they can be expanded to problems of legitimacy, specifically the legitimacy of international institutions, by bringing together experts from philosophy, political theory and law.
