Botching the Balkans: Germany's Recognition of Slovenia and Croatia [Abstract]
| 12/04/98
The Kohl government sought a policy on the Balkan crisis that would both appeal to the self-conscious pacifist-internationalist strain in German public opinion and avoid direct German and European responsibility for the largely unknown consequences of that policy.
"Think Globally, Punish Locally": Nonstate Actors, Multinational Corporations and Human Rights Sanctions [Abstract]
| 12/04/98
This essay poses the question of whether grassroots organizations can provide an alternative center of authority to the state in inducing multinational corporations to incorporate human rights criteria in their investment and trade decisions.
South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission: Ethical and Theological Perspectives [Abstract]

Humanitarian Intervention: An Overview of the Ethical Issues [Excerpt]

Empathy, Respect, and Humanitarian Intervention [Abstract]

Postmodern Ethics and a Critical Response [Abstract]

More Than Anyone Bargained For: Beyond the Welfare Contract [Abstract]
| 12/04/98
Rather than base social welfare policies on contractual bargaining, policies should focus on the duties the strong members of society have toward the weak: the poor should clearly receive more, and the rich pay more, than either group has bargained for.
Toward a Moral System for World Society: A Reflection on Human Responsibilities [Abstract]
