In just the past few years, both the theoretical importance and the
practical necessity of ethical analyses in international affairs
have become well established. In order to more closely examine
particular ethical dilemmas, Rachel McCleary has put together a
collection of carefully selected case studies illustrating the
variety of ethical concerns that arise in international affairs. As
in every volume in the Case Studies in International Affairs
series, this volume opens with an introduction that gives students
the philosophical background and theoretical framework they need to
understand the cases that follow. Individual introductions to each
case place the study in context relative to the other studies and
to the overall theme of the volume. Discussion questions round out
the treatment of the issues, prompting explorations beyond the
cases themselves. The cases in Seeking Justice range from questions
about the U.S. invasion of Panama to the withdrawal from Vietnam,
from the uneven application of the Law of the Sea to the equally
uneven distribution of trade favors emerging from the integration
of the European Community. Considerations of economic justice are
also the focus of a case on the IMF and Nigeria. A Brazilian case
study brings together several issues implicit in the earlier
cases-the nature of state sovereignty, the status of moral
obligations and rights in the international arena, and the
structural inequality of international regimes. This study shows
how the issues of debt, development, and environment are integrally
linked and pinpoints the kinds of ethical problems policymakers,
experts, and theorists will be wrestling with in the near future.
The cases have been selected and presented to help students
identify the issues and make connections between disparate sets of
circumstances without spoonfeeding interpretation or analysis.
Rachel McCleary skillfully presents the spectrum of ethical
questions posed by international events and reveals the dialectical
interplay among them.
