The concept of 'responsibility' is, on the one hand, highly charged (and, for example in criminal law, related to ideas of 'guilt' and blame), and on the other hand, vague and ambiguous. Today, there is an unprecedented willingness to be accountable in different contexts and relationships, and at the same time (and coherently) an unprecedented diversity and variegation in this use. The aim of the project, which is based on (criminal) law with interdisciplinary elements, is to try to take a broad and perhaps partly unified approach to ideas and practices regarding responsibility and accountability today. The focus is not least on accountability on the part of society through legal regulation. The project addresses, among other things, (existing and potential) liability in "newer" areas created by technological development (self-driving cars, which are often mentioned in such contexts, are just one example among many). But there are also other interesting developments today, such as an increased interest in imposing responsibility on previous generations (e.g. for slavery) as well as on future generations. There are also many questions about, for example, the construction and allocation of responsibility in legal persons (in what ways can and should such persons be regarded as "own" existences for the purposes of responsibility?), as well as such fundamental questions about human agency that have always existed - and that can probably be thought of as "eternal" - but which in the context concerned here may possibly be regarded in a partly new light.
