Download or read book Reclaiming Value in International Development written by Chloe Schwenke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International development has complex unintended effects on the realities of equity, rights, governance, and conflict in poor countries. Yet the myriad moral questions and quandaries encountered at every turn by development policymakers and practitioners are seldom thought about or articulated in a rigorous fashion. Instead, development specialists are trained to focus on the technocratic aspects of economic aid delivery and to disregard the moral issues raised by the adverse collateral consequences of aid programs for many people, communities, institutions, and environments in the developing countries. Reclaiming Value in International Development is the first book to bridge the divide between ethics and development from the perspective of a seasoned development practitioner who is also a trained ethicist. Schwenke formally enlarges the concept of development to include its moral dimension, to denote beneficial change that alleviates human misery and environmental degradation in poor countries and reinforces universal ethical norms such as human dignity, essential freedoms, social justice, peace, civic virtue, human flourishing, the common good, gender equality, safety and security, and participation and inclusion. She applies this ethically expanded concept to nine key topics in international development: education, leadership, procurement, food security, conflict, urbanization, gender identity and sexual orientation, deliberative participation, and the measurement of ethical performance. Throughout the book, the author draws on her thirty years of experience as a development practitioner in thirty poor countries around the world to give vivid real-life illustrations of the classic moral dilemmas in development ethics and to show how moral reasoning can clarify and resolve them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Ethics, Ruhr-University of Bochum, language: English, abstract: This paper asks the following four questions: What is our moral responsibility for global poverty? Can historical injustices such as slavery and colonialism be linked to backward-looking responsibilities? Can the allocation of moral responsibility to rich and poor people be justified? Considering both, humanitarian and development aid, which of the two concepts is the more effective one in the face of the huge challenges of world poverty? The answer of the third question focuses immediately on the responsible actors that come into question, and the fourth on moral claims brought forward along with the practical implementation of particular claims. Having outlined the subject of the matter of this paper, it is now important to make clear the aims of it. These are twofold. First, it aims to explore in depth and to evaluate competing philosophical perspectives on the issue of moral responsibility towards the poor. As such it seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of three important contributions to this topic. These are the ethical theories of Peter Singer, Thomas Pogge and David Miller, whose disparate viewpoints lay a good foundation for the depiction of fundamental dissimilarities. Second, my investigation seeks, on the one hand, to show that a proper allocation of moral responsibility to rich and poor people under certain conditions is possible; and on the other hand, to provide a defence of the claim that development aid is the more appropriate concept of aid for combating poverty-related issues instead of humanitarian aid in view of the adverse criticism of Singer’s theory. In the end, I shall propose points that could make development aid more effective.

Book excerpt: The Ethics of Development: An Introduction systematically and comprehensively examines the ethical issues surrounding the concept of development. The book addresses important questions such as: What does development mean? Is there a human right to development? If we aim for sustainable development in an age of global climate change, should developed nations sacrifice economic growth for the sake of allowing developing countries to catch up? Should eradication of poverty or diminution of radical inequality be the principal focus of developmental policy? What are the macroeconomic theories of development? And how have they informed development policy? How does development work in practice? Featuring case studies throughout, this textbook provides a philosophical introduction to an incredibly topical issue studied by students within the fields of applied ethics, global justice, economics, politics, sociology, and public policy.

Download or read book Ethics of Development Assistance for Health written by Jennifer Prah Ruger and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries, home to 84 percent of the world's population and 92 percent of the burden of disease, have only 29 percent of global gross domestic product and 16 percent of health spending. In the past three decades, levels of and contributors to global health aid have increased at an unprecedented pace, with an emphasis on funds for HIV/AIDS; maternal, newborn, and child health; malaria; and tuberculosis. Development assistance for health -- financial contributions from public and private institutions to low- and middle-income countries to help improve health and health systems -- nearly quintupled from 1990 to 2012 (from $5.7 billion to $28.1 billion). DAH is now provided by more than 170 major global health agencies and organizations, 15 percent of which are private entities (such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), other not-for-profit organizations, and public-private partnerships. Governments are still the largest source for DAH. While increased DAH is essential and welcome, these system developments raise numerous ethical questions. Are the resources sustainable, and do expenditures target correct priorities? Who should decide, and how should these decisions be made? The United Nations, in a 2010 meeting of the General Assembly, initiated a series of debates to explore ways to move the development agenda forward and build on lessons learned during the U.N.'s fifteen-year Millennium Development Goals effort. Agenda-setting for these debates has been global; stakeholders in over eighty-five countries have held conferences and workshops, and the U.N. has invited stakeholders to participate online in global thematic conferences. Several published reports have detailed initial findings. But these discussions have failed to address fundamental ethical questions adequately or to ask whether DAH conforms to basic principles of global justice. The existing DAH system grew out of the post-World War II period of reconstruction and decolonization in which neoliberal principles of national interests, charity, or enlightened self-interest guided foreign aid from donors to recipients within a hierarchical and asymmetric relationship. Empirical evidence on donor priorities suggests that these motivations persist today. Of total health spending, 2.7 percent is in lower-middle-income countries, and 26 percent is in low-income countries; the poorest countries thus depend most heavily upon DAH and suffer most from asymmetries in information and in power vis-à-vis the donor community. To expand global health equity, the DAH system should abandon the power-based donor-recipient dichotomy and replace it with the principle of equal respect for all people's capabilities. The global justice theory of provincial globalism and its shared health governance (SHG) framework offer an alternative and much better approach to DAH. A shared health governance approach rejects global justice views that rely on individual or social contracts purporting to be mutually beneficial. Individuals and groups are often not in fact free to negotiate effectively: donors can deploy their disproportionate financial and technical resources and diplomatic prowess to influence recipient country health programs and privilege donor interest, not recipient country health needs. With shared health governance, donors and global, national, and subnational agencies and communities can jointly reform the current foreign aid scheme of DAH.
Download or read book Donor Aid the Determinants of Development Allocations to Third World Countries written by Louis M. Imbeau and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating study on international development aid addresses a central, yet too often neglected question: what does account for the variation in commitments to economic aid across the OECD donors? Building on a theoretical framework derived from «bounded rationality», Louis M. Imbeau elaborates a number of competing explanations and proceeds to test them on data collected for 17 OECD donors over the period 1966-1981. In so doing, this book makes a significant contribution to an interesting body of literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can be done about the poor state of global health? How are global health challenges intimately linked to the global political economy and to issues of social justice? What are our responsibilities and how can we improve global health? Global Health and Global Health Ethics addresses these questions from the perspective of a range of disciplines, including medicine, philosophy and the social sciences. Topics covered range from infectious diseases, climate change and the environment to trade, foreign aid, food security and biotechnology. Each chapter identifies the ways in which we exacerbate poor global health and discusses what we should do to remedy the factors identified. Together, they contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges we face, and propose new national and global policies. Offering a wealth of empirical data and both practical and theoretical guidance, this is a key resource for bioethicists, public health practitioners and philosophers.
