REPORT


Global Ethics Series Series Editor: Christien van den Anker, Reader, Department of Politics, University of the West of England, UK Global Ethics as a field builds on longer traditions of ethical reflection about (global) society and discusses ethical approaches to global issues. These include but are not limited to issues highlighted by the process of globalization (in the widest sense) and increasing multiculturalism. They also engage with migration, the environment, poverty and inequality, peace and conflict, human rights, global citizenship, social movements and global governance. Despite fluid boundaries between fields, Global Ethics can be clearly marked out by its multidisciplinary approach, its interest in a strong link between theory, policy and practice and its inclusion of a range of work from strictly normative to more empirical. Books in the series provide a specific normative approach, taxonomy or an ethical position on a specific issue in Global Ethics through empirical work. They explicitly engage with Global Ethics as a field and position themselves in regard to existing debates even when outlining more local approaches or issues. The Global Ethics Series has been designed to reach beyond a liberal cosmopolitan agenda and engage with contextualism as well as structural analyses of injustice in current global politics and its disciplining discourses.

Cordourier-Real TRANSNATIONAL SOCIAL JUSTICE Anna Grear REDIRECTING HUMAN RIGHTS Facing the Challenge of Corporate Legal Humanity Shahram Khosravi ‘ILLEGAL’ TRAVELLER An Auto-Ethnography of Borders Ivan Manokha (editor) THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF HUMAN RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT Darrel Moellendorf GLOBAL INEQUALITY MATTERS Michal Rachel Nahman EXTRACTIONS An Ethnography of Reproductive Tourism Derrick M.
