Beskrivning
“Ethics, Hunger and Globalization” adds an ethics dimension to the debate and research about poverty, hunger, and globalization. Outstanding scholars and practitioners from several disciplines discuss what action is needed for ethics to play a bigger role in action by governments, civil society, and the private sector to reduce poverty and hunger within the context of globalization. The book concludes that much of the rhetoric by policy makers is not followed up with appropriate action, and discusses the role of ethics in attempts to match action with rhetoric. The book also concludes that a better understanding of the values underlying both public and private sector action towards the alleviation of poverty and hunger would lead to more enlightened policies and greater success in attempts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The interaction between ethical, economic, and policy aspects is discussed and scholars and experienced practitioners from several disciplines suggest how such integration may be promoted.

Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "Ethics, Hunger and Globalization is a very stimulating work because it adds an ethics dimension to the research and the public debate about hunger, poverty, and globalization. ... I'm very pleased with the publication of this work. Bringing together in one volume contributions of many outstanding scholars ... to discuss what action is needed for implementing ethics into the policy of governments, civil society, and the private sector to alleviate poverty and hunger, is a devil of a job. It was worthwhile to do this." (Johan De Tanvernier, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 22, 2009)
