Cristian Dimitriu



Postdoctoral Fellow

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
January 2016‒August 2017

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Ethics of International Lending and International Trade«

Project outline:
My research focuses on global justice. I am interested in evaluating specific transnational institutions, international agreements and global practices. More specifically, I am interested in the ethics of international lending and international trade; and the normative notions of ›coercion‹ and ›exploitation‹.
Some of the questions that I deal with are the following. What are the conditions under which sovereign debts are not morally binding? How should rules of sovereign lending be structured? Why should current generations honor promises made by governments in the past? What is wrong with the current international trade regime? Under what conditions are trade and lending (wrongfully) coercive or exploitative? (Cristian Dimitriu)

Funding of the stay:
»Justitia Amplificata. Rethinking Justice − Applied and Global«
