ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on how moral agency is constituted in complex networks of interactions and what effects diverse practices of responsibility might have. It highlights the interrelatedness of practices of responsibility and the constitution of moral agency, and the relevance of conceptualising responsibility as a space that leads to different forms of assigning responsibility. The implications of how moral agents are constructed by practising responsibility are particularly instructive with respect to collective actors, be it states, international or non-governmental organisations, or companies. As the empirical cases presented by Cornelia Ulbert, Christian Scheper and Tobias Debiel show, assigning responsibility constructs moral agents in very specific ways bestowing the capacity to act on certain groups of actors or denying other groups this capacity to act.
