How Might We Live? Global Ethics in the New Century asks fundamental questions about what ethical life looks like in an increasingly interconnected world. Edited by Ken Booth, Tim Dunne, and Michael Cox, the volume brings together leading scholars to explore whether concepts of duty, obligation, and justice can be meaningfully extended across global boundaries. In contrast to much twentieth‑century thinking that sidelined ethics in international affairs, contributors argue that ethics must lie at the heart of how human societies understand their responsibilities to one another — inviting readers to ponder who the twenty‑first century should be for and how we ought to live together in a truly global age.
