Practical issues such as poverty reduction and migration have received significant attention. Labour issues however, although connected to poverty reduction and migration, have been underrepresented as explicit issues tackled within global justice debates. This conference aims at drawing attention to labour issues emerging as explicit justice issues within the context of globalization. Keynote speakers include: Christien van den Anker (UWE Bristol), Jeroen Beirnaert (ITUC), Patrick Taran (ILO), Marie-Anne Paraskevas (European Commission), Jószef Böröcz (Rutgers University) Program and Registration Book - Global Ethics Ronald Commers, Wim Vandekerckhove, and An Verlinden published with Ashgate the edited volume 'Ethics in an Era of Globalization'. It acknowledges aspects of globalization that make ethical reasoning itself a challenging task. The contributions in this book search to move beyond relativism and presents new developments focusing on how to re-conceive ethics in order to come to grips with ethical and political life today.

Read more About CEVI In 1996, Prof. Dr. M.S. Ronald Commers started with the CEVI at the University of Ghent (Belgium). Some national and international contacts were made, and a few prelimenary activities were held. From 1998 on, but still within a loose structure, a group of scholars gathered and discussed along the lines of the research program. By 2000, a more or less core group of members was formed and a number of working papers gave concrete form to a growing number of research projects. Read more
