1: Beyond Single Stories -- Section I: Ethics and Culture -- 2: Why We're So Often Wrong about the World -- 3: Beyond Cultural Relativism -- 4: Tradition, Globalization, and Change -- 5: Women Elsewhere -- Section II: Ethics and Economics -- 6: Brief Histories of Poverty -- 7: Development and the Human Good -- 8: Crossing Borders: Immigration in an Unequal World -- 9: Sweatshops, Resource Curses, and the Ethics of Trade -- 10: Charity and/or Justice? -- Section III: Ethics and Politics -- 11: Are Human Rights and Democracy Universal? -- 12: The Ethics of War -- 13: Building Global Peace -- Section IV: Ethics and the Environment -- 14: Population: What's the Problem? -- 15: Unnatural Disasters -- 16: Climate Change: Problems and Progress -- 17: Conclusion: How to Continue Thinking Ethically.

This textbook is an introduction to thinking ethically about global issues. Unlike existing books in this area, this book is truly interdisciplinary and includes a range of voices from both the Global South and the Global North. Rather than simply applying Western theories to case studies, Prof. Stephen Minister shows readers how to consider context and complexity, while respecting the agency of people elsewhere. It weaves together the work of thinkers and writers from the Global South with philosophical work on global ethics, relevant scholarship from other academic fields, and stories from fieldwork studying global issues on four continents. The textbook explores a variety of topics, including: cultural difference, gender, population, poverty, natural disasters, and development. It then encourages students to build on these ideas and think more deeply about topics such as foreign aid, inequality, immigration, international trade, climate change, human rights, and war and terrorism.Because the book's style is accessible and engaging, it will be an excellent text for ethics and global studies courses, as well as being of interest to general readers who want to think better about global issues. Stephen Minister is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of Moral Values at Augustana University, USA.
