If, as Chapter 12 argues, much of Bonhoeffer’s resistance thinking remains stable even as he undertakes the novel conspiratorial resistance, what is new in his resistance thinking in the third phase? What receives new theological elaboration is the resistance activity of the individual, which in the first two phases was overshadowed by the resistance role played by the church. Indeed, as this chapter shows, Bonhoeffer’s conspiratorial activity is associated with what he calls free responsible action (type 6), and this is the action of the individual, not the church, in the exercise of vocation. As such, the conspiratorial activity is most closely related to the previously developed type 1 resistance, which includes individual vocational action in response to state injustice. But the conspiratorial activity differs from type 1 resistance as individual vocational action in the extreme situation.

Responsible Action

Responsibility is a key theme of recent debates over the ethics of international society. In particular, rising powers such as Brazil, China, and India regularly reject the idea that coercion should be a feature of world politics, and they portray military intervention as irresponsible. But this raises the problem of how a society's norms can be upheld without coercive measures. Critics have accused them of “free riding” on existing great powers and failing to address the dilemma of how to deal with actors undermining societal values. This article examines writing on responsibility and international society, with particular reference to the English School, to identify why the willingness and capacity to use force—as well as creative thinking in this regard—are seen as important aspects of responsibility internationally. It then explores statements made by Brazil, China, and India in UN Security Council meetings between 2011 and 2016 to identify which actors they see as responsible and how they define responsible action. In doing so, it pinpoints areas of concurrence as well as disagreements in their understandings of the concept of responsibility, and concludes that Brazil and India have a more coherent and practical understanding of the concept than China, which risks incurring the label “great irresponsible.”

Security Procedures

The responsibility of the National Police in securing the candidates who will be elected as regional heads and also their deputy is a responsible action during the regional head elections, therefore the police apparatus is very important in maintaining security and order during the election. This study examines the form of security for candidates for regional heads and deputy regional heads in Denpasar City and explains the responsibility of the National Police for the security of candidates for regional heads and deputy regional heads in Denpasar City. The research method used is an empirical legal research method, with a statutory approach. The data used are primary and secondary data obtained by interview, observation and documentation techniques. The results of the study indicate that the security procedures for candidates who will be elected as regional heads and also their representatives in Denpasar City are referred to the rules implemented by the Denpasar Police and based on Article 5 paragraph (2) of Law No. 2 of 2002 concerning the Police. While the responsibility of the National Police for the security of candidates who will be elected as regional heads and also their representatives in Denpasar City is as the bearer of obligations, especially under the command of the Chief of Police, one of the main tasks of carrying out these obligations is the role of the Police as an intelligence unit in overcoming potential security disturbances.

AbstractIn this essay, I focus on the initial reaction of the then leadership of the Academy of Management (AOM) to President Trump’s travel ban issued in January 2017. By viewing the travel ban in purely administrative terms, AOM leadership framed it as an example of “political speech”, on which they were organizationally barred to take a public stand. I subject this view to critical assessment, arguing that the travel ban had a distinct moral character, which was antithetical to scholarly values. Τhe travel ban, I suggest, should be viewed as a non-prototypical case of political speech, which required AOM leadership to flexibly adapt existing rules in situ: to imaginatively frame the travel ban in order to undertake responsible action. Accordingly, the early 2017 AOM rules about political speech should be seen not as recipes-for-action but as reminders-for-action, thus allowing an imaginative reframing. Finally, exploring the notion of moral imagination, I distinguish between “disclosive” and “incremental” moral imagination and responsibility, and suggest that AOM leadership engaged mainly in the latter.

The Constant Rigor of the Anthropocene

This chapter concludes the book by examining the Anthropocene in light of the tragic and the cruciform imaginary. In response to Anthropocene realities that relate individual lives and choices to epochal planetary changes, some have argued that humans are like gods, should embrace their now-recognizable world-changing power, and should pursue “the good Anthropocene.” This chapter argues, instead, that the tragic is a key feature of the Anthropocene, in which some creative possibilities must be foregone, given up, or undermined in order to embrace others. This constancy of the tragic demands a response that embraces the “constant rigor” of responsible action and the pursuit of a “humane Anthropocene.”

Responsible Action

The article aims to analyze the interface of reflexivity, knowledge and ecologic awareness in the context of hospital work, based on data collected in a qualitative case study carried out at a public hospital. Field observation data and interviews are discussed in the light of sociologic and philosophic references. Workers expressed the interface between knowledge and action, in which there is a cycle of lack of knowledge, automatism in the actions and lack of environmental awareness, posing limits to individual awareness and to responsibility towards environmental preservation. Increased debate and education, including the environmental issue, are needed in the context of hospital work. Although hospital work is reflexively affected by the environmental problem, that does not guarantee the reorientation of practices and responsible action towards the environment.
