This work revisits old questions across a broad array of topics in development studies, while bringing a fresh sense of exigency on the ethical dimensions of theory and practice. The work explores philosophical debates on various schools of thought on justice, without sacrificing practical concerns on achieving economic and environmental sustainability at global and local levels. The work will serve as a nice survey to the field of development ethics. Rajesh Sampath, Brandeis University, USA

Rajesh Sampath, Brandeis University, USA The Ethics of Development: An Introduction offers a fine up-to-date survey of the private and public ethics concerning global problems of development. Ingram and Derdak combine philosophical insights and social-scientific findings in a sophisticated manner and thereby illuminate a host of pressing moral issues - including sustainable development, corporate social responsibility and world trade. The textbook is a much-needed addition to the normative literature on global development. Julian Culp, The American University of Paris, France
