The journal promotes the study of 'global ethics', encouraging examination of the wide variety of ethical issues that arise in the context of globalisation and global relations. The journal provides a forum for the analysis of ethics and values and their relationship to globalisation, international relations, politics and development, engaging particularly in debates about global justice. The Journal of Global Ethics publishes: * A range of high-quality empirical and theoretical articles * Dialogues, discussions and analyses of ethics in the global context * Articles incorporating research, practice and broader social concerns * Articles crossing the academic-practitioner divide and representing a range of voices, including those of civil society and non-governmental organizations and policy-makers * Reviews, interviews and special features on topical issues * Debates with NGOs, anti-globalisation movements, activists and academics on topical political, legal and ethical issues * Special Issues on contemporary themes, for example, those of global justice, global bioethics, development ethics, corporate ethics, ecological ethics, professional ethics and human rights. The Journal of Global Ethics draws chiefly on the disciplines of philosophy, political science, sociology, theology, economics and law and covers diverse topics such as human rights, international development, biomedical, economic and environmental issues. Thus, the journal invites papers on theoretical, conceptual and empirical analysis of global ethics and ethics of globalisation as well as articles on comparative and normative ethics. It also welcomes critical analysis of various cultural approaches to ethical issues in the global context (for example on human rights, economic globalisation and social justice, ethics of development cooperation and international relations). In accordance with the aim of the journal to cross the academic-practitioner divide, the editors also encourage the submission of articles on policies and experiences related to social movement and NGO activities.
