University of Notre Dame economist Denis Goulet, a pioneer in the field of development ethics, has published a new volume of his collected essays,Development Ethics at Work: Explorations – 1960-2002.
Published by Routledge, the book consists of a compilation of essays documenting Goulets contributions to the field of development ethics.Spanning more than four decades of his work, it includes accounts of the early journeys of his thinking, an exposition of the main themes he has explored, and the transition from early alternative development to alternative globalizations.
Dividing the book into three parts, Goulet examines the evolution of development ethics and the ways a development ethicist can function in varied development arenas; explores the ethical dimensions of competing change strategies; and investigates the language of interdependence which prevails in development discourse.
