{"product_id":"a-moral-critique-of-development-anta-kumar-giri-9780415276252","title":"A Moral Critique of Development: In Search of Global Responsibilities","description":"Recent critiques of international development practice, affecting aid organizations such as Oxfam, Action Aid and the Red Cross, have attacked the motives of those heading the 'machine' of development suggesting that it is in reality just too politically complex for good ever to come of it. But, despite the genuine need for a critical appraisal of development work, the anti-development backlash would appear to result in a moral dilemma. Should we try to help countries and people in need, or refuse potentially corrupt or harmful involvement? This book comments on how international development might once again become a visionary project. With perspectives from workers in the development industry, it draws lessons from actual projects to propose a theory of 'emergent ethics': that local moral responses to specific projects must form the basis of a way forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anta Kumar Giri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041527625X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415276252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Anta Kumar Giri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136064106751,"sku":"9780415276252","price":126.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24348432-b8b6-41ca-a436-b82c82b4d12f.jpg?v=1770160272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-moral-critique-of-development-anta-kumar-giri-9780415276252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
