To do so often requires the exercise of control over the very individuals, societies, states, and peoples that are the objects of concern. In other words, power is a prominent feature of a global ethics of care. This book examines paternalism beyond borders from the nineteenth century to the present, and in everyday practices of hamanitarianism, human rights, development, and other projects designed to improve the lives of others. It offers a provocative look at the subtle and variable ways that power works its way in and through global ethics, and considers whether and when paternalism might be justified. MICHAEL N.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Nearly all of those who want to make the world a better place are engaged in paternalism. This book asks how power is intertwined with practices of global compassion. It argues that the concept of paternalism illuminates how care and control are involved in the everyday practices of humanitarianism, human rights, development and other projects designed to improve the lives of others. The authors explore whether and how the paternalism of the nineteenth century differs from the paternalism of today, and offer a provocative look at the power in global ethics, raising the question of whether, when, and how paternalism can be justified. Nearly all of those who want to make the world a better place are engaged in paternalism. This book examines the ways in which this occurs, and asks whether it is necessarily a bad thing. It also asks how the paternalism of today differs from that of the nineteenth century. This item is printed on demand.
