Garčević Discusses War in Ukraine on “Ethics in Action” Podcast
In his recent appearance on the Ethics in Action podcast, Ambassador Vesko Garčević, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, addressed questions on the war in Ukraine and diplomacy with Russia.
Part of the University of Massachusetts Boston’s Philosophy Department, the Applied Ethics Center promotes research, teaching, and awareness of ethics in public life. In this podcast, Applied Ethics Center Director Nir Eisikovits hosts conversations on the intersection of ethics, politics, and technology.
Garčević joined Eisikovits in the continuation of their series on the war in Ukraine. The two talk about what it means to diplomatically engage with Russia and whether it makes sense to think of it as a pariah state. Garčević also tackled misconceptions about the role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) expansion in precipitating the current war.
