Severe poverty is one of the greatest moral challenges of our
times. But what place, if any, do ethical thinking and questions of
global justice have in the policies and practice of international
organizations? This books examines this question in depth, based on
an analysis of the two major multilateral development organizations
- the World Bank and the UNDP - and two specific initiatives where
poverty and ethics or human rights have been explicitly in focus:
in the Inter-American Development Bank and UNESCO. The current
development aid framework may be seen as seeking to make
globalization work for the poor; and multilateral organizations
such as these are powerful global actors, whether by virtue of
their financial resources, or in their role as global norm-setting
bodies and as sources of hegemonic knowledge about poverty. Drawing
on their backgrounds in political economy, ethics and sociology of
knowledge, as well as their inside knowledge of some of the case
studies, the authors show how, despite the rhetoric, issues of
ethics and human rights have - for very varying reasons and in
differing ways - been effectively prevented from impinging on
actual practice. Global Poverty, Ethics and Human Rights will be of
interest to researchers and advanced students, as well as
practitioners and activists, in the fields of international
relations, development studies, and international political
economy. It will also be of relevance for political philosophy,
human rights, development ethics and applied ethics more generally.
