Biography
Dan Bulley is a Lecturer in International Relations in the School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy at Queen’s University Belfast. His research focuses on international political theory and the possibility of international ethics. He has contributed articles to the Review of International Studies and the British Journal of Politics and International Relations.
'This is a rich, subtle and insightful book. Dan Bulley has delivered what is perhaps the best analysis we have in International Relations scholarship of the recently popular notion of "ethical foreign policy".
Ben Rosamond Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick
It is difficult to think of a timelier question than the one addressed in Ethics as Foreign Policy, namely how we produce and respond to otherness. Drawing on sophisticated theoretical arguments as well as meticulous empirical research this beautifully written analysis of UK and EU foreign policy presents the problem of an ethical foreign policy in a new light. Bulley’s analysis is a joy to read because it is a critique in the best possible sense of the word: he systematically questions the possibility of ethics and yet it is at the same time clear that he is inspired by a profound desire for the very possibility he so elegantly dismantles.
