Introduction to the symposium on Ingrid Robeyns’s Limitarianism
Capability and Oppression
The capability approach focuses on understanding and removing unfreedom, so it is surprising that connections between capability and oppression have been little discussed. I take seven steps towards filling that void. (1) There is an intuitive conceptual connection if we understand "oppression" as being held or confined to low capability levels. (2) Normatively, it is noteworthy that oppressed people are held at low capability levels as a result …
Agency and Democracy in Development Ethics
A diverse set of expert voices from the Global North and South - philosophers, economists, policy and development scholars and practitioners - explore two themes central to development ethics: agency and democracy. Established luminaries in development ethics engage with the book's themes alongside fresh voices on the way to becoming familiar figures in the field. Their essays work within diverse areas of development studies, including human secu…
Agency and Democracy in Development Ethics
An Indian global ethics initiative
In what sense must global ethics be global? In one sense, it must deal with global issues. In another, it must not be parochial but inclusive of normative views from around the world. So far, global ethics has met the first standard much better than the second. Authors based in the global South contribute approximately 5% of the internationally published research on global ethics. With this in mind, the co-editors of this special issue sought to …
Accountability in development
Adoption of the Millennium Development Goals triggered much discussion among donor states, multilateral institutions, and developing countries towards changing dysfunctional patterns of interaction that seemed to put the MDGs at risk from their inception. Initially in these high-level discussions, accountability was understood in a state-centric way, primarily as accountability to donors. This needed to be modified with the shift towards developi…
Routledge Handbook of Development Ethics
'Routledge Handbook of Development Ethics' provides readers with insight into the central questions of development ethics, the main approaches to answering them, and areas for future research
Human Rights
In this paper, I argue for a refusal of the ‘politics of origins’ framework that dominates human rights talk and towards one that privileges a ‘politics of meanings’. Drawing on my ethnographic work on the rights encounter with developmentalism and rights in rural Rajasthan, I present a few elements of this shift towards a ‘politics of meanings’ and introduce a new conceptual framework, one of vernacular rights cultures, which I suggest will help…
Human Rights
The question of how to arrive at a consensus on human rights norm in a diverse, pluralistic, and interconnected global environment is critical. This volume is a contribution to an intercultural understanding of human rights in the context of India and its relationship to the West. The essays in this collection pioneer a distinct approach by examining what it is that the West itself may have to learn from various Indian articulations of human righ…
Foundational issues
Over the past 20 years, global ethics has come to be conceived in different ways. Two main tendencies can be distinguished. One asks from whence global ethics comes and defines ‘global ethics’ as arising from globalization. The other tendency is to ask whither global ethics must go and thus defines ‘global ethics’ as a destination, namely arriving at a comprehensive global ethic. I will note some types of discussion that may have been wrongly exc…
Empowerment, agency, and power
As ‘empowerment’ and ‘agency’ have received wider usage within development research and policy, ambiguities and variant meanings have proliferated. Amidst this conceptual drift, there has also been a tendency to assimilate the two concepts. This tendency is problematic in a number of ways. First, ‘agency’ has various meanings, and the weakest of these captures little of the concept of empowerment. Second, empowerment has a conceptual link with we…
A Capability Approach to Justice as a Virtue
Displacement by Development
For decades, policy-makers in government, development banks and foundations, NGOs, researchers and students have struggled with the problem of how to protect people who are displaced from their homes and livelihoods by development projects. This book addresses these concerns and explores how debates often become deadlocked between 'managerial' and 'movementist' perspectives. Using development ethics to determine the rights and responsibilities of…
Responsible Pluralism, Capabilities, and Human Rights
For their effective realization, human rights need to be perceived as culturally legitimate, and this in turn requires that they be justifiable pluralistically, engaging all reliable moral discourses. In so far as a human right calls for a specific capability to be respected, protected, and fulfilled, the capability approach can contribute to this task of pluralistic justification in two ways. First, it abstracts from particular goods to valuable…
Durable empowerment
As a contribution to development ethics, this article attempts to clarify what ‘empowerment’ should mean, in so far as it is a valuable goal. I begin with the core ethical idea of empowerment that is to be found in recent work on measuring empowerment, led by Deepa Narayan, namely: empowerment occurs when people are better able to shape their own lives. Since this is a metaphor, I attempt to articulate a corresponding literal meaning. What I find…
When is Development More Democratic?
If people are to be empowered by development processes, to be active participants rather than passive recipients, then development must become more democratic. However, the meaning of ‘more demo-cratic’ is not exhausted by the introduction of democratic institutions; it also entails that political activity functions more democratically. In this article, ‘democratic functioning’ is defined in terms of people's access to political activity, which h…
"Who is Fooled by the "Cunning of Reason
To Hegel's supporters, the of reason is in various ways a source of embarrassment. In my view, some reasons for this embarrassment are less enlightening than others. What enlightens me least is the belief evinced by some Hegel interpreters that there is no coherent model of how the of reason might work. A foray into Hegelian metaphysics enables us to dismiss these difficulties. In doing so, we free ourselves to evaluate Hegel's theory in terms of…
