The Journal on Global Ethics
The University of Birmingham Centre for Global Ethics launched in 2005 the Journal on Global Ethics. Although it is not accessible open source, it represents a very valuable resource for the study of issues related to the interests of most Globethics.net participants. Click here for the summary of the first issues. You can access articles published in one of the first volumes for free.
A forthcoming volume of the Journal will be devoted to the issue of Women’s Rights. You can find a note on our website: Calls for Papers section.
NB: Globethics.net participants residing in eligible countries may try to access the journal in an appropriate library through INASP’s PERI initiative.
