ConclusionReviewsThis is an important book, one of the first comparative studies of the ethics in use within the most significant development organizations. Essential reading for students of global ethics as well as students of development. Craig Murphy, M. Margaret Ball Professor of International Relations at Wellesley College and author of The UN Development Programme: A Better Way? (2006). In their official communications, our international agencies speak often and grandly of global justice, human rights, and the eradication of poverty. Yet, as many have noted, these commitments are hardly apparent in their practical work. In this controversial and groundbreaking book, McNeill and St. Clair seek to explain why this is so, based on a close look inside four international agencies.
