| Why Inequality Matters: Some Economic Issues [Abstract]

| International Obligation and Human Health: Evolving Policy Responses to HIV/AIDS [Full Text]
- 12/04/01
Those with the ability to help can do so without significant sacrifice. Hence, those countries with the means to provide solutions to the HIV/AIDS crisis, and give succor to those now suffering from it, have a moral obligation to act. Author(s): Paul G. Harris, Patricia Siplon |
| Prospects for Transnational Citizenship and Democracy [Abstract]
- 12/04/01
Many of the problems that would be faced in setting up transnational institutions mirror problems that have already been addressed by appropriate institutional mechanisms in the establishment of the modern nation-state. Author(s): Daniel M. Weinstock |
| Assigning Responsibilities to Institutional Moral Agents: The Case of States and Quasi-States [Abstract]
- 12/04/01
To claim that institutions can act as relevant moral agents in international relations, we must consider the disparate circumstances within which states—those that exercise positive sovereignty and those that are sovereign only in name—are expected to act. Author(s): Toni Erskine |
| Moral Agency and International Society [Abstract]
- 12/04/01
Some have argued that the UN or the Security Council can exercise agency on behalf of IS, but in view of the "underinstitutionalization" of IS in the UN, groups of states may authorize themselves to act on the behalf of IS as "coalitions of the willing." Author(s): Chris Brown |
| The Anti-Sweatshop Movement: Constructing Corporate Moral Agency in the Global Apparel Industry [Abstract]
- 12/04/01
Through the use of rhetoric linking private economic transactions and international labor and human rights standards, the movement has successfully challenged corporate practices that were previously considered unremarkable. Author(s): Rebecca DeWinter |
| Place-Based Environmentalism and Global Warming: Conceptual Contradictions of American Environmentalism [Full Text]
- 12/13/01

| The Global Covenant: Human Conduct in a World of States, Robert H. Jackson [Full Text]
- 11/06/01
The strength of Jackson's study lies in his use of military and diplomatic history, legal-institutional scholarship, and political theory to expose the empirical reality and normative logic of a societas of states. Author(s): Catherine Lu |

- 11/06/01
Both authors describe the variety of tools - national and international trials, investigatory bodies, memorials, reparations, and constitutional changes - that societies and international bodies have employed to address human rights violations. Author(s): David A. Crocker |
| War Stories: The Search for a Usable Past in the Federal Republic of Germany, Robert G. Moeller [Full Text]
- 11/19/01
Moeller clearly states that this is a book about the popular representation of the war's effect on Germany and the way that this representation shaped a selective memory of suffering in which German victimhood was the overarching theme. Author(s): Rebecca E. Wittmann |
