Global Trade Ethics: An Illustrated Overview

The globalization of the world economy arouses dreams of expanding prosperity. At the same time, globalization stirs fears of a relentless intensification of competition, marginalization and new instances of poverty. In this new book, Swiss ethicist Christoph Stuckelberger grapples with issues arising for international trade within the context of a globalized economy. He outlines case studies and describes existing and potential solutions to the problems presented, supplying the reader with a set of ethical guidelines to help in arriving at his or her own analyses and judgments. Stuckelberger provides hope that moral action towards responsible development is indeed possible.
