Wraight1st ed.London, [England] ;New York, New York :Continuum,2011.©20111 online resource (185 pages)Think Now1-4411-0951-X Includes bibliographical references and index.An unequal world -- The ethical imperative -- Compassion and justice -- Giving -- Trading -- A more equal world.International development is now more topical than ever. Billions of dollars have been given in grants or spent on the infrastructure of the development industry. The global aid and trade industry is gigantic and high-profile. It is also hugely controversial. Trade deals are accused of being 'unfair'. Aid agencies are suspected of wasting funds, or engaging with corrupt regimes, or encouraging dependency. Despite the vast amounts of political capital spent on international development, it remains unclear what works and what doesn't. Global inequality remains stark. Economic analysis can help resolve some of these issues. But some of the questions raised are of a more fundamental nature. They are issues of fairness, equity, right and wrong. The Ethics of Trade and Aid demonstrates how political philosophy provides us with insights often passed over in modern development jargon. Christopher Wraight scrutinises the trade and aid industry through the lens of philosophy and ultimately shows that a compassionate, rational and humane engagement with the global economy does hold the promise of a better, more equal life.Think now.Economic developmentMoral and ethical aspectsEconomic assistanceMoral and ethical aspectsInternational tradeMoral and ethical aspectsEconomic developmentMoral and ethical aspects.Economic assistanceMoral and ethical aspects.International tradeMoral and ethical aspects.174Wraight Christopher D.982319MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795433903321The ethics of trade and aid3861043UNINA02997nam 2200517 450 991079359910332120230126220856.01-78920-198-510.1515/9781789201987(CKB)4100000007745675(MiAaPQ)EBC5507659(DE-B1597)636917(DE-B1597)9781789201987(EXLCZ)99410000000774567520190314d2019 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRaccomandazione clientelism and connections in Italy /Dorothy Louise ZinnNew York ;Oxford :Berghahn,2019.1 online resource (278 pages)European anthropology in translation ;Volume 7Translation of: La raccomandazione : clientelismo vecchio e nuovo.

Based on long-term ethnographic research in southern Italy, this book examines the concept and practice of raccomandazione: the omnipresent social institution of using connections to get things done. Viewing the practice both from an indigenous perspective – as a morally ambivalent social fact – and considering it in light of the power relations that position southern Italy within the nesting relations of global Norths and Souths, it builds on and extends past scholarship to consider the nature of patronage in a contemporary society and its relationship to corruption.European anthropology in translation ;Volume 7.Patron and clientItaly, SouthernPatronage, PoliticalItaly, SouthernItaly, SouthernPolitics and governmentItaly, SouthernSocial conditionsPatrongage-clientelism, Patronage, Corruption, Southern Italy, Basilicata.Patron and clientPatronage, Political306.20945/7Zinn Dorothy Louise145592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793599103321Raccomandazione506835UNINA
