This book offers both a theoretical and empirical discussion of the psychology of ethics and care in a global world. Theoretically, the book seeks to problematize the concept of globalization, ethics and care by discussing how global-local linkages may be constructed in various ways and produce a number of different ethical results depending on context. The book makes a couple of major contributions. First, it demonstrates how globalization, multiculturalism and group conflict must be reconceptualized from an ethical perspective if we are to appreciate and understand the extent to which people are likely to act on behalf of others in a global world. Second, it advances ethical ideas that provide new political and moral vocabularies that allow us to imagine social alternatives. The political psychology of real or perceived violence in a global world calls for new approaches to understanding collective experience. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how political, economic, social and psychological forces interact and are mutually reinforced in a global context.

Kristen Renwick Monroe is a scholar whose work has changed the field of political psychology, political economy, and normative political theory. She is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Irvine. Monroe’s award-winning work on altruism and moral choice deals with a central problem in politics and ethics: our treatment of others. Her work provides a valuable counter-point to rational choice theory, suggesting identity constrains choices by limiting the options we find available, not just ethically but cognitively. Monroe is the author of 18 single-authored books or edited volumes and over 100 articles or book chapters. Her awards include two Pulitzer nominations, a National Book Award nomination, several American Political Science Association Best Book awards and/or honorable mentions, two of the APSA’s lifetime achievement awards (the 2010 Goodnow Award and APSA’s 2010 Ithiel deSola Pool Award), two lifetime achievement awards from the International Society of Political Psychology, UCI’s Distinguished Research Award, and the 2010 Paul Silverman Award for Outstanding Work in Ethics.
