There are two targets for an ethical evaluation of globalization. The first is the system of global capitalism. Are its structures and rules fair? Do they need reform? Second are the actors within this system. Do they act in an ethically desirable way, given the structures within which they are operating? By what standards should we judge their behavior?

Is ethical action possible, given the realities of national interests and power politics? And how, in ethical terms, can international acts be evaluated?
