Virtue in Global Governance

Judgment and Discretion

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rules cannot determine their own application; instead, they need people of flesh and blood to apply them. Hence, the character traits of those individuals are relevant. This book provides an original virtue-based framework for studying global governance, focusing on individuals in leadership positions and providing practical illustrations.
