Description
Book SynopsisThe influence of the global South is increasing in the conduct and governance of multinationals, in the growing interest in the 'bottom of the pyramid', in the debates over the environment, trade and international law. There are questions aplenty. Complexities and tensions, differing ethical interpretations.
The volume includes works by authors from the global South and contributions about ethical issues in the global South, including the responses to famine in East Africa, India and Indonesia, and the applicability of international guidelines and ethical frameworks in South Africa. Other contributions examine the roles of beliefs and philosophies in the establishment of ethical traditions.
Trade ReviewScholars, mostly of business but also history, explore the diversity of the middle classes in the Global South, and show how ethical interpretations and behaviors differ in various consumer markets there. The topics include war and famine around the Indian Ocean during the Second World War, religion as apparatus of ethical similarity: a catalyst toward the framework of ethical behaviors in a technical environment, modern business and the doctrine of the mean, and ethics and the unified justice examination of the People's Republic of China. The volume ends with reviews of A. McKay's 2015 The Big Short and the 2017 Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, edited by J. M. Siracusa. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
