What allows countries to develop? What holds development and growth in certain regions?

Ethics of International Organizations
Semester:
Yearly
Offered:
2019
Working in development involves meeting many moral dilemmas and challenges. For example, how should we treat the meeting of Western and local values? What do we think about animal treatment in the community in which we work? We should be loyal – but loyal to the organization which employs us or to the clients? What is sexual harassment? And so on. In this course we shall discuss these are other dilemmas and try to offer tools of moral reasoning in order to face such dilemmas.
The course is taught by Prof. Avner de Shalit
