The book Ethics, Hunger and Globalization adds an ethics
dimension to the debate and research about poverty, hunger, and
globalization. Outstanding scholars and practitioners from several
disciplines discuss what action is needed for ethics to play a
bigger role in action by governments, civil society, and the
private sector to reduce poverty and hunger within the context of
globalization. The book concludes that much of the rhetoric by
policy makers is not followed up with appropriate action to fight
poverty, hunger, and malnutrition and discusses the role of ethics
in attempts to match action with rhetoric. The book also concludes
that a better understanding of the values underlying both public-
and private-sector action towards the alleviation of poverty and
hunger would lead to more enlightened policies and a greater
success in attempts to achieve the Millennium Development
Goals.
The interaction between ethical, economic, and policy aspects
are discussed and scholars and experienced practitioners from
several disciplines suggest how such integration may be promoted
for the benefit of low-income people in developing countries. The
cohesive, multidisciplinary, intellectual treatment of the subject
of ethics and hunger makes this book not only intellectually
stimulating but well grounded in realities. Taking into account the
new evidence and the various perspectives presented by the authors
of this book would undoubtedly result in a more enlightened debate,
better government policies, and appropriate guidance of
globalization for the benefit of the poor."
