{"product_id":"civilising-globalisation-david-kinley-9780521887816","title":"Civilising Globalisation: Human Rights and the Global Economy","description":"Economic globalisation and universal human rights both have the aspiration and power to improve and enrich individuals and communities. However, their respective institutions, methods, practices and goals differ, leading to both detrimental clashes and beneficial synergies. In this book, David Kinley analyses how human rights intersect with the trade, aid and commercial dimensions of global economic relations, taking the view that, while the global economy is a vitally important civilising instrument, it itself requires civilising according to human rights standards. Combining meticulous research with highly informed views and experiences, he outlines the intellectual, policy and practical frameworks for ensuring that the global economy advances the ends of human rights, argues for better exploitation of the global economy's capacity to distribute as well as create wealth, and proposes mechanisms by which to minimise and manage the socially debilitating effects of its market failures and financial meltdowns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Kinley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052188781X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521887816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/13\/2009 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010","brand":"David Kinley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443509407999,"sku":"9780521887816","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97bc106a-8c2f-4a15-b244-56fff0be1ab4.jpg?v=1777205964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civilising-globalisation-david-kinley-9780521887816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
