- Norms and Values: Rethinking the Domestic Analogy [Abstract]
| Friedrich Kratochwil | 12/02/1987

| Jacques Barzun | 12/02/1987

| Peter Bauer | 12/02/1987
Third World debt, seen as distant from the realm of international affairs and ethics, is often subject to abstract economic analysis. Bauer argues that the way in which debt is addressed by debtors and lenders is heavily politicized and should be subjected to ethical scrutiny.
