"Global Ethics provides a superb analysis of the ethical issues
that arise at the global level. It succeeds in both covering a
great deal of ground and in doing so in considerable depth. One
particularly attractive feature of the book is the way it unites
ethical analysis with detailed accounts of the practical challenges
that we face today. Global Ethics is also wonderfully clear, and
introduces complex ideas in an extremely accessible and
illuminating way." - Simon Caney, University of Oxford "Global
Ethics surveys a vast amount of work on the subject, offers a
comprehensive introduction to its themes, represents the arguments
with care and accuracy, and is written remarkably clearly. Its use
of important case-studies to introduce students to the field will
stimulate thinking and show the real-world relevance of the
theories discussed. This is an exceptional introduction to global
ethics." - Darrel Moellendorf, San Diego State University "An
excellent text that deserves to become the standard introduction to
the topic. It makes complex issues intelligible to a broad range of
potential readers, including those who have done little or no
philosophy, without at any point dumbing down. An impressive
achievement, the book is at once usable, engaging and
thought-provoking." - Bob Brecher, University of Brighton "Widdows
illuminates today's leading theories with compelling case-studies,
expertly blending philosophy and practice. Those looking for a
vivid and accessible overview of the best contemporary thinking
about global ethics should read this book." - Leif Wenar, King's
College London "A highly engaging and excellent introduction to
ethical issues in a global context. Widdows does an outstanding job
including a vast array of important global ethical issues,
integrating philosophical and empirical concerns smoothly in her
analysis. She discusses an impressive amount of current literature
in an accessible way. A delightfully fresh approach that students
are bound to find stimulating and rewarding." - Gillian Brock,
University of Auckland "A fascinating and highly accessible
introduction to global ethics, a young and rapidly developing field
of enormous significance. Through this book, Widdows takes her
readers on a journey of discovery that will enthuse them to delve
deeper." - Sigrid Sterckx, Ghent University "This book offers a
timely introduction to the emerging subject of global ethics and
provides the reader with the theoretical tools and information
necessary to understand issues of global importance." - Nick
Buttle, University of the West of England "Virtually everything one
needs to know about the whole sphere of global ethics, including
the complexity of negotiating global-ethics issues and universalism
which is assumed in all areas of global governance, is discussed
here with insight." - Tribune, India Textbook introducing students
to the theory and practice of global ethics, ranging over issues in
global governance and citizenship, poverty and development, war and
terrorism, bioethics, environmental ethics and gender justice.
