As globalization has deepened worldwide economic integration, moral
and political philosophers have become increasingly concerned to
assess duties to help needy people in foreign countries. The essays
in this volume present the latest ideas on this important topic by
authors who are leading figures in these debates. At issue are both
the political responsibility of governments of affluent countries
to relieve poverty abroad and the personal responsibility of
individuals to assist the distant needy. The wide-ranging arguments
shed light on global distributive justice, human rights and their
implementation, the varieties of community and the obligations they
generate, and the moral relevance of distance. This provocative and
timely volume will interest scholars in ethics, political
philosophy, political theory, international law and development
economics, as well as policy makers, aid agencies, and general
readers interested in the moral dimensions of poverty and
affluence.
