Continued growth of the global market necessitates research that establishes norms and practices and ensures the appropriate level of ethical concern for those who contribute to the process of globalization and are being affected by globalization.

Ethical Models and Applications of Globalization: Cultural, Socio-Political and Economic Perspectives presents the work of researchers who seek to advance the understanding of both the ethical impact of globalization and the influence of globalization on ethical practices from various cultural, socio-political, economic, and religious perspectives. The aim of this reference work is to put forward empirically grounded methods for understanding both the effect that the process of globalization has on ethical practices in organizations and how this research can shape the course of economic globalization.

Reviews & Statements

The central insight of the work in this volume is that while globalization may force all people to reconsider what they ought to do in particular situations, the central notions guiding ethical practice, norms, and theories remain the same. Fairness and prevention of harm are ethical intuitions shared by the human family yet manifest themselves in human conduct differently across cultures.
