註釋

Peter Singer, one of the World's most influential philosophers, here considers the ethical issues surrounding globalization, showing how a global ethic rather than a nationalistic approach can provider illuminating answers to important problems. In a new preface, he discusses how the recent Iraq war and its aftermath have changed the prospects for the ethical approach he advocates. One World encompasses four main global issues: climate change, the role of the World Trade Organization, human rights and humanitarian intervention, and foreign aid. Singer addresses each vital issue from an ethical perspective and offers alternatives to the state-centric approach that characterizes international theory and relations today. Posing a bold challenge to the narrow or nationalistic views of policymakers, politicians, and leaders in the United States and elsewhere, Singer presents a detailed, practical way of looking at contemporary global issues through the prism of ethics.
