Towards a Global Ethics of Compromise

Résumé

We live in unprecedented times characterised by social, economic, and ecological crises in the global perspective. To respond to these challenges, the concept of sustainability was developed as a global blueprint for just action. The problem with global sustainability is that we have conflicting visions of what is just and what is sustainable. How to deal with conflicts in a fair way in situations in which consensus is out of reach, and global action that really makes a difference (as opposed to any action that people happen to agree on) is required? This article explores the elements of an ethics of compromise as a solution to contemporary global challenges such as sustainability. I argue that consensus is not a necessary condition for cooperative action. I propose a theoretical model of fair political compromise that does not require compromising one’s own moral values, and discusses the methods and conditions of application in international affairs. To this end, I draw on Martin Benjamin’s notion of integrity-preserving compromise. Such compromise can be an ethically legitimate mode of peaceful conflict resolution in situations of rationally irreducible difference.
