The Ethics of Globalization and Development
An Interdisciplinary Conference
September 29-30, 2006
A.D. White House, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Sponsored by the Poverty,
Inequality, and Development Initiative
Co-sponsored by the Society for the
Humanities, Center for the Study
of Economy and Society, Provost's Fund, and Institute for the Social Sciences
The Cornell Conference on the Ethics of Globalization will
be a site for mutual learning among social scientists and
philosophers interested in the moral implications of
globalization and the normative presuppositions of current
ways of thinking about globalization and development. The
globalization of trade, production and finance, the
institutions that regulate it, the power structures that
shape it and the poverty that accompanies it give rise to
heated moral controversies, in which familiar values of
democracy, equity, pluralism, autonomy and aid are brought
to bear but are extremely hard to interpret and apply. The
task of developing an adequate moral framework for
responding to globalization and the challenge of global
poverty requires a combination of empirically secure social
inquiry and imaginative moral theory, which the conference
seeks to advance through papers and extensive discussions
on leading economic, cultural, political and environmental
controversies.
