The World Bank will soon be publishing its 2011 World Development Report, on “Conflict, Development, and Security.” If you want a preview of the thrust of the volume, check out theinteresting blog the Bank launched earlier this year to provide a window into the process of producing the report. (They’ve also got a Facebook page, if you’re into that sort of thing.)
Our new issue features a dossier on the moral economy. It includes essays on the history of ethics as part of economic life, economic justice in early modern Europe, land arrangements in Mexico, and debates over religion, the gift, social rights, and land reform. We also include an essay on Nicholas Kristof’s savior narratives on sex trafficking in Cambodia and an essay reflecting on the limits of humanitarian logics for refugee camp volunteers in Greece and France.
