Poverty, inequality, violence, environmental degradation, and
tyranny continue to afflict the world. Ethics of Global Development
offers a moral reflection on the ends and means of local, national,
and global efforts to overcome these five scourges. After
emphasizing the role of ethics in development studies,
policymaking, and practice, David A. Crocker analyzes and evaluates
Amartya Sen's philosophy of development in relation to alternative
ethical outlooks. He argues that Sen's recent turn to robust ideals
of human agency and democracy improves on both Sen's earlier
emphasis on 'capabilities and functionings' and Martha Nussbaum's
version of the capability orientation. This agency-focused
capability approach is then extended and strengthened by applying
it to the challenges of consumerism and hunger, the development
responsibilities of affluent individuals and nations, and the
dilemmas of globalization. Throughout the book the author argues
for the importance of more inclusive and deliberative democratic
institutions.
