Co-Existing in a Globalized World: Key Themes in Inter-Professional
Ethics brings together, and engages with, the scholarly work
accomplished individually under the banner of professional ethics
in various fields. The overarching theme of the volume is that
globalization inevitably pairs professionals from distinct fields
as co-workers. This necessitates serious reflection on how diverse
fields can co-exist and achieve superior results through combining
best practices from each. The authors are leading scholars and
practitioners who have diverse national and distinguished
professional backgrounds. These authors particularly focus on
ethical concerns emerging from the inherent symbiotic relationship
between cultural boundaries, professions and globalization.
Furthermore, they put focused emphasis on ethical compliance with
regard to globalization of professional practices into various
cultural settings. The fields represented in the volume include
international law, comparative education, East-West relations,
engineering and bio-medical ethics, research ethics, and
international professionalism in a cross-cultural context.
"Do you promise, do you promise" she said when she first found out,
as I comforted her holding in my tears and promising her she
wouldn't die. I explained that she was young and that the cancer
must have been caught early. As time passed, she got worse and
worse, hope faded and dreams disappeared. The only way I could
think, to honour the promise I had made was to immortalise her in
my poetry.
The success of individual nation states today is often measured in
terms of their ability to benefit from and contribute to a host of
global economic, political, socio-cultural, technological, and
educational networks. This increased multifaceted international
inter-dependence represents an intuitively contradictory and an
immensely complex situation. This scenario requires that national
governments, whose primary responsibility is towards their
citizenry, must relinquish a degree of control over state borders
to constantly developing trans and multinational regimes and
institutions. Once state borders become permeable all sorts of
issues related to rights earned or accrued due to membership of a
national community come into question. Given that neither
individuals nor states can eschew the influence of the growing
interdependence, this new milieu is often described in terms of
shrinking of the world into a global village. This reshaping of the
world requires us to broaden our horizons and re-evaluate the
manner in which we theorize human personhood within communal
boundaries. It also demands us to acknowledge that the relative
decline of Euro-American economic and political influence and the
rise of Asian and Latin American states at the global level have
created spaces in which a de-territorialized and a de-historicized
notion of citizenship and state can now be explored. The essays in
this volume represent diverse disciplinary, analytical, and
methodological approaches to understand what the implications are
of being a citizen of both a nation state and the world
simultaneously. In sum, Deconstructing Global Citizenship explores
the question of whether a synthesis of contradictory national and
global tendencies in the term "global citizenship" is even
possible, or if we are better served by fundamentally reconsidering
our ideas of "citizenship," "community," and "politics."
