The gruesome facts of global inequality and poverty are depressingly familiar. Nevertheless, the enormous disparities in wealth and power that mark our world still have the power to shock. Consider the following:
The brutal social and economic realities that lie behind these facts render demands for distributive justice increasingly salient and urgent. Nevertheless, meaningful response to the plight of the poor in general and in developing countries in particular has proven to be both frustratingly inadequate and extraordinarily challenging. Some difficulties result from the enormous diversity among developing states. For example, while some developing states have been at the forefront of global economic growth, another group – much greater in number, if smaller in population – is falling further behind. Moreover, the barriers to economic growth and development vary enormously across countries. As a result, generalized policies are unlikely to be effective, and more nuanced approaches are needed.
