ItemNo Preview AvailableOne world: The ethics of globalization(Yale University Press, 2004-12-01)The book encompasses four main global issues: climate change, the role of the World Trade Organization, human rights and humanitarian intervention, and foreign aid. Singer addresses each vital issue from an ethical perspective and offers alternatives to the state-centric approach that characterizes international theory and relations today. On climate change, for example, he sees the ethical issue as one that concerns a common global resource - the capacity of the atmosphere to absorb waste gases. How much of this resource should developed notions appropriate, and how much should be left for developing nations? Regarding the WTO, Singer asks whether the organization allows free trade to override all other values, and he assesses the evidence for and against the view that globalization helps the poor. In his consideration of human rights, the author asks to what extent we can develop global laws protecting human rights and what the criteria for intervention should be when these rights are violated. Finally, Singer addresses the obligations of the world's rich nations to assist the poor nations. © 2002 by Peter Singer. All rights reserved.

ItemNo Preview AvailableEvangelists of empire?: missionaries in colonial history(eScholarship Research Centre in collaboration with the School of Historical Studies and with the assistance of Melbourne University Bookshop, 2008)In recent years, renewed interest in the role of Christian missionaries in colonising projects has helped inform and challenge current concepts of gender, race and colonial governance. "Evangelists of Empire?" gathers together a diverse group of scholars around these evolving new histories in Australia and other colonial sites. Utilising a range of source material and a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, this ground-breaking collection offers the reader new ways of assessing the uneven paths of mission endeavours, and examines the ways in which Indigenous peoples responded to - and took ownership of - aspects of Christian and Western culture and spirituality.
