The book examines the impact of poverty and other global crises in generating forms of structural coercion that cause agential and societal underdevelopment.
World Crisis and Underdevelopment examines the impact of poverty and other global crises in generating forms of structural coercion that cause agential and societal underdevelopment. It draws from discourse ethics and recognition theory in criticizing injustices and pathologies associated with underdevelopment. Its scope is comprehensive, encompassing discussions about development science, philosophical anthropology, global migration, global capitalism and economic markets, human rights, international legal institutions, democratic politics and legitimation, world religions and secularization, and moral philosophy in its many varieties.
'World Crisis and Underdevelopment is an original, illuminating, solid contribution to a normative political philosophy of globalization. Soaring above specialties, Ingram discusses world poverty, migration, markets' misgivings, human rights, global justice, global constitutionalism, the reform of the UN from the angle of a critical theory inspired by Habermas' discourse-ethics and Honneth's theory of recognition.' Alessandro Ferrara, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy
