Aging as the basis of a new ethics of global governance

The article examines the phenomenon of global population aging as a factor transforming the ethical foundations of modern international governance. The author analyzes how the demographic transition affects the normative paradigms of global governance, requires a rethink of the principles of justice, solidarity and sustainability, and also pushes for building new ethical and political guidelines that take into account the interests and dignity of older people. The prerequisites for the formation of age-sensitive ethics are considered, and conclusions are drawn about the need for global adaptation of institutional and value foundations of governance to the realities of a post-demographic society.
