Course Code
_
This course is directed towards learners in their final year of study. It covers current debates in global justice that address both theoretical and applied issues. All global society traditions of ethical analysis therefore have relevance here. The course examines global poverty, development, environmental and economic crises, refugee and humanitarian disasters, and the role of governmental organisations, non-governmental organisations and private international corporations. In particular, the course addresses whether wealthy nations have an obligation to assist poorer nations. The course is especially relevant for learners who desire careers in international development, humanitarian aid, international consulting or volunteerism.
