Creating stronger internal compliance and ethics programs will help employees and managers act properly as well as know how to deal with various ethical situations that may arise. The marcus…

Jointly organised by the Asia Research Institute and the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore The debate about law and religion is often casted in modern Western terms: a separation of Church and State and a neutrality of the State are presumed, and religion is relegated to the private sphere where law (at least state law) should play no role (though of course sometimes this model is not followed in some parts of the West). Freedom of religion in the West is often defined as freedom from State intervention in religion – “Congress shall make no law respecting an…

The conference aims to address some of the legal, political and ethical challenges posed by transnational migration that so far have received limited attention in the theoretical literature on the subject. Legal and political theorists—in particular, those working in the so-called Anglo-American tradition—have been slow to give migration its due attention. Hence, a number of pressing issues, such as the rights of undocumented migrants, responsibility for refugee populations, and “brain drain” remain under-researched from a normative perspective. The conference aims to fill this gap in the literature and to provide a forum for sustained, interdisciplinary analysis by leading scholars and…

Also, it allows a deeper awareness of the potential unforeseeable aspects of the interconnected developments of techno-science and society, and more flexible and dynamic ways to think of futures. However, innovation usually refers to the economic and social…
