The development ethics approach to international development

---

Development ethics is an important topic which is often neglected in development studies.
The purpose of the paper is to analyze international development in an ethical-based context using the
approach of development ethics.
Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is mainly based on the pioneering work of the
prominent development ethicists and the founder of development ethics as self-conscious area – Denis
Goulet – along with recent development ethics literature. In this context, international development is
approached under a holistic ethical manner.
Findings – Development ethicists reduce the gap between a conventional perspective of development
and the real needs of humankind. In contrast to mainstream economics view, for development ethics
the true indicator of development is not growth in a narrow sense of material expansion of wellbeing,
but the qualitative enrichment of human beings in all relevant aspects of human life. International
development is preserved as an effort to a better life for individuals and to a good global society for
nations.
Research limitations/implications – If research is reported on in the paper, this section must be
completed and should include suggestions for future research and any identified limitations in the
research process.
Social implications – The proposed ethical goals and strategies are normative judgments which
provide both the notional and practical framework within which international development should be
discussed and policy recommendations could be formulated.
Originality/value – The notion of development is redefined on ethical foundations. A conceptual
typology of the development ethics goals and strategies to international development is offered. The
paper can be perceived as a point of departure that scholars and students of international development
and development economics in broad, from both perspectives (orthodox and heterodox), can be
incorporated with ethical matters to international development and benefit from it.
