This book provides a fresh perspective on international development. By integrating ethical concepts and moral philosophy with political economy, Nikos Astroulakis and Nikolaos Karagiannis explore three levels of ethical analysis: meta-ethical, normative ethical, and applied ethical. This approach underscores the importance of ethics in shaping development goals and strategies tailored to an individual society.
The book uses a framework rooted in heterodox political economy to redefine what it means to be a “good society.” It challenges conventional economic models and proposes development ethics as a compelling alternative. Readers will discover new ways to understand the purpose of development and innovative methods to evaluate its success.
Development Ethics explains how ethical principles can transform development policies, making it an essential read for those committed to building a more just and equitable world.
