Nearly all of those who want to make the world a better place are
engaged in paternalism. This book asks how power is intertwined
with practices of global compassion. It argues that the concept of
paternalism illuminates how care and control are involved in the
everyday practices of humanitarianism, human rights, development
and other projects designed to improve the lives of others. The
authors explore whether and how the paternalism of the nineteenth
century differs from the paternalism of today, and offer a
provocative look at the power in global ethics, raising the
question of whether, when, and how paternalism can be justified.
