Global Ethics and Civil Society
Routledge (Verlag)
9780754642145 (ISBN)
This detailed and timely volume examines the impact of global transformations on concepts of civil society. Divided into two sections, it evaluates changing notions of ethics and how these transformations are operationalized. The first part deals with the theoretical aspects while the second examines the practical impact of the evolution of global ethics and norms on society. Providing solid case studies, this accessible volume contributes to the theoretical literature in the field and will prove a useful library reference work or graduate reader in the areas of globalization, civil society, ethics, human rights, citizenship and cosmopolitanism.
John Eade is Professor at the Roehampton University, UK and Dr Darren O'Byrne is also from the Roehampton University, UK.
