We are living in an exciting and challenging era, characterized by
what many are calling globalization -- the integration of economic
activity on an international scale. It involves unparalleled
movements not only of capital but also of goods and services,
technologies, and people.
Globalization is perceived as both a promise and a threat. The
promise is seen in the rising prosperity experienced by many in
rich and poor countries alike in the aftermath of international
linkages. The threat is the growing perception, by nations and
individuals, that we can no longer control our way of life. Whether
it be corporate downsizing, takeovers, bankruptcies, human rights
abuses, or the loss of jobs, the pace of change and the disruption
of communities is very troubling to many.
We are experiencing a growing call for a global ethic. From
various parts of the world, proposals are emerging for a new global
code of conduct, along with an ever-increasing concern for the
promotion and protection of human rights in developing countries.
To further the discussion on global codes of conduct, the
University of Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Religious Values in
Business presents the reflections of a group of distinguished
leaders from business, the academy, and other parts of civil
society. This resulting collection asks important questions for us
to consider in the rush toward globalization: What is the next step
in this chorus of activity? Should we try to move toward one global
code of conduct? What accountability structures are helpful?
Global Codes of Conduct: An Idea Whose Time Has Come will be of
value to all readers interested in the emerging global economy. It
will be particularly usefulas a textbook for courses in business
ethics.
