International Justice and the Third World: Studies in the Philosophy of Development

by Robin Attfield (Editor), Barry Wilkins (Editor)

Overview

International Justice and the Third World vindicates belief in global or universal justice, and explores both liberal and Marxist grounds for such belief. It also investigates the presuppositions of belief in development, and relates it to sustainability, to environmentalism, and to the obligation to cancel Third World debt.

Editorial Reviews

‘Papers in this volume do, however, broaden the idea of justice, and make one consider the need for it to be a global principle of ethics rather than one that is limited by national boundaries.' - Bull Med Eth Feb 95
