Communication of ethics – across cultural boundaries
- 2022

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Is it possible to communicate ethics across cultural borders? Not according to representativesof “the incommensurability thesis”, who claim that values and norms are culturally bounded.This article argues against this thesis. A first problem is that cultures and traditions are seenas comprehensive, delimited, and exclusive. Normally, however, a culture develops from andis in dialogue with other cultures. Further, the inner diversity of cultures and traditions opensthe possibility of communication and shared understandings across cultural borders. Finally, theteaching and discussion of cross-cultural ethics provide practical evidence of the possibility ofdialogue and mutual understanding.

Ethics and historical justice
- 2021. - 1
-
In: Historical justice and history education. - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783030704117 ; , s. 195-212
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In relation to three cases of recent claims for rectificatory justice after colonialism; the Caribbean nations’ claims for rectification after slavery and the slave trade, claims of former Mau Mau adherents for rectification for atrocities during the British colonial war in the 1950s and the restitution of African art in French museums, Collste defines the concept of rectificatory justice and discusses pertinent ethical questions raised by the claims for historical justice. Among them are the moral reasons for rectification, the implications of past injustices for present claims for justice, and whether intentions to harm in the past is a necessary requirement for a present duty to rectify. Finally, Collste suggests how historical justice can be taught in school and its importance for historical consciousness.

‘Where you live should not determine whether you live’. Global justice and the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines
- 2022
-
In: Ethics & Global Politics. - : TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD. - 1654-4951 .- 1654-6369. ; 15:2, s. 43-54
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In 2020, the world faced a new pandemic. The corona infection hit an unprepared world, and there were no medicines and no vaccines against it. Research to develop vaccines started immediately and in a remarkably short time several vaccines became available. However, despite initiatives for global equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccines have so far become accessible only to a minor part of the world population. In this article, I discuss the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines from an ethical point of view. I reflect on what ethical principles should guide the global distribution of vaccines and what global justice and international solidarity imply for vaccine distribution and I analyse the reasons for states to prioritize their own citizens. My focus is on ethical reasons for and against ‘vaccine nationalism’ and ‘vaccine cosmopolitanism.’ My point of departure is the appeal for international solidarity from several world leaders, arguing that ‘Where you live should not determine whether you live’. I discuss the COVAX initiative to enable a global vaccination and the proposal from India and South Africa to the World Trade Organization to temporarily waive patent rights for vaccines. In the final section, I argue for global vaccine sufficientarianism, which is a modified version of vaccine cosmopolitanism.

Succeeding at home and abroad: accounting for the international spillovers of cities’ SDG actions
- 2021
-
In: npj Urban Sustainability. - : Springer Nature. - 2661-8001. ; 1:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Cities are vital for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), but different local strategies to advance on the same SDG may cause different ‘spillovers’ elsewhere. Research efforts that support governance of such spillovers are urgently needed to empower ambitious cities to ‘account globally’ when acting locally on SDG implementation strategies.
