Emerging from the new language and ideas that are being developed to try to encompass and define the ways in which globalisation is changing the world in which we live, global citizenship combines two factors - the idea of global responsibility (for the environment, aiding the poor, human rights, peace, etc.) and the development of institutional structures through which this responsibility can be exercised.The aim of the Reader is to introduce students to the changing ways in which politics, culture, environment and economics are being thought about and how individuals relate to the fast-moving global, political, cultural, economic and environmental agendas. The international team of authors includes social scientists, philosophers, natural scientists and systems theorists. They bring a breadth of coverage to the core theme of the individual in a global world, showing the wide variety of ways in which Global Citizenship is conceived and approached by different disciplines.The Reader is divided into four main sections - the idea of Global Citizenship; Global Ethics; the Environment, Development and Technology; and Global Civil Society, Religion and Peace. Each section begins with a broad overview and then focuses on illustrative discussions of specific issues. This is an ideal text for Global Citizenship courses, as well as for more general courses on Citizenship, Globalisation, and Ethics.The contributors to the volume are: Sabine Alkire, Robin Attfield, Roland Axtmann, Christine Blackmore, Richard Falk, Andreas Follesdal, David Held, Kimberly Hutchings, Mark Imber, Hans Kung, David Miller, David Newlands, Valeria Ottonelli, John Smyth, Sytse Strijbos, Christien Van den Anker.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578107765009,"sku":"GOR002258184","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748615474.jpg?v=1768559340"},{"product_id":"introduction-to-global-citizenship-book-nigel-dower-9780748614707","title":"An Introduction to Global Citizenship","description":"In this short textbook introduction to the idea of Global Citizenship, Nigel Dower examines the arguments from ethical, social and political theory for and against the view that we are global citizens. The discussion is set in its historical context but the main emphasis is on the idea of global citizenship as a cultural process, and its application in the modern world.The book is divided into three parts - the Framework, which explores the historical context and the ethical and institutional aspects of the concept of global citizenship; Applications, covering key areas of current global concern, including the environment, aid and poverty elimination, human rights, peace, and global governance; and Theoretical Issues, which explores the arguments for and against global citizenship in more depth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586238750993,"sku":"GOR004795737","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50315338154257,"sku":"GOR011087175","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748614702.jpg?v=1773316262"},{"product_id":"world-ethics-book-nigel-dower-9780748608249","title":"World Ethics","description":"Nigel Dower discusses the nature of world ethics by identifying different ways of thinking about ethics and includes a survey of different ways of thinking ethically about international and global relations. He also considers several theories of world ethics in the context of various specific issues such as war and peace, world poverty, the environment and the United Nations. *  Rejects the idea of international scepticism and the 'morality of states' *  Demonstrates the distinction between a global ethic as a theory and as social reality *  Defends the claim that we are world citizens with global duties","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49622659367185,"sku":"GOR001989084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748608249.jpg?v=1751451640"},{"product_id":"global-citizenship-book-nigel-dower-9780415935432","title":"Global Citizenship","description":"The idea of global citizenship is that human beings are \"citizens of the world.\" Whether or not we are global citizens is a topic of great dispute, however those who take part in the debate agree that a global citizen is a member of the wider community of humanity, the world, or a similar whole which is wider than that of a nation-state or other political community of which we are normally thought to be citizens. Through four main sections, the contributors to Global Citizenship discuss global challenges and attempt to define the ways in which globalization is changing the world in which we live.

In a fair-minded and engaging analysis, Nigel Dower introduces the different ethical theories in traditional and contemporary debates ? realism, just war theory and pacifism ? and subjects each to detailed critical scrutiny. He frames these debates within a related but distinct framework of three approaches to international relations, namely skeptical realism, internationalism and cosmopolitanism. The book also identifies and evaluates two further important perspectives, militarism and pacificism. Whilst analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the different outlooks, Dower makes a strong case for a cosmopolitan pacificist position, arguing that we need to see peace in more positive terms than merely the absence of war. The book uses a wide range of examples from across the world and includes discussion of nuclear weapons, new wars, terrorism, humanitarian intervention and human security.         Written as a textbook for students who have no prior knowledge of philosophical ethics, The Ethics of War and Peace is designed to help students understand and see the relevance of how a professional philosopher can engage ethically with the world. Each chapter contains a helpful survey of its contents at the beginning and a set of questions for individual reflection or group discussion at the end.          This book will be essential reading for students of security studies, conflict resolution, peace studies, philosophy and political theory and anyone interested in the ethical questions which arise from the study of war and peace.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416209096977,"sku":"CIN0745641687G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51702501998865,"sku":"CIN0745641687VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684758319377,"sku":"NLS9780745641683","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0745641687.jpg?v=1751042523"},{"product_id":"ethics-of-war-and-peace-book-nigel-dower-9780745641676","title":"The Ethics of War and Peace","description":"Presents a comprehensive introduction to the ethical aspects of war and peace.
